Final exams for classes meeting during periods 1-4 will occur on Thursday, May 31. Final exams for classes meeting during periods 5-7 will occur on Friday, June 1. All seniors will have final exams for periods 5-7 completed on a prior date, as they have Commencement rehearsal at 9:00 a.m. on June 1. There will be time at the end of the day on Thursday for students who have work, tests, or other course-required materials to finish before the end of the year. A detailed schedule is included below.
Attendance will be taken during study halls. Students who do not wish to attend their study hall period on 5/31 or 6/1 should have a parent/guardian call in to excuse their absence. All students who are in the building must report to their regular class or study hall. All textbooks and checked-out items should be turned in to the Media Center following the final for that class. Buses will run on their normal schedules.
Please be aware that students in grades 9-12 will have an OPEN campus lunch option on both days of finals (5/31 and 6/1). Lunch will be available at West both days for students who choose to stay on campus.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to visit with their student(s) about their plans and schedule for final exams and about making good choices. Students are expected to help maintain a quiet and appropriate testing environment. Please discuss your expectations with your child prior to final exams next week and do what you can to provide support for your child as they prepare for final exams.
Remember:
1. Each class will give a final exam or have a final project. Students are expected to attend all classes.
2. Students are to stay in classrooms during the full 80-minute period.

2018 Mankato West High School Commencement Ceremony
The Commencement ceremony for Mankato West High School 2018 graduates is taking place on Friday, June 1 at 8:00PM at the MSU Taylor Center.
A few reminders for families/friends attending the ceremony:
- Because caps and gowns are turned in immediately following the ceremony, please plan to take pictures with graduates in their caps and gowns prior to the ceremony. Graduates are aware of this as well.
- The Mankato East Commencement ceremony is just prior to ours. In order to allow time for East families/friends to exit, we ask that West families/friends not enter the Taylor Center until after 7:15PM. There is ample parking and seating available to guests at this event.
- The MSU Taylor Center has asked that no balloons are brought indoors.
- See parking information below.
We hope that you will join us on June 1 to celebrate the collective accomplishments of the Mankato West High School Class of 2018!
