Semester Exam schedule:

Semester Exams

Students can be exempt from semester exams on the following basis:

0 absences – Exempt from all exams
1 absence – 4 exemptions
2 absences – 3 exemptions
3 absences – 2 exemptions
More than 3 absences – No exemptions

Students also need at least an 81 average in the class to qualify for the exemption.  AP students must take the AP Semester Exams.  Absences, whether excused or unexcused, affect the incentive program for semester exams.

Exemption sheets will be given to students who qualify on May 17.  Students will take the exemption sheet around for their teachers to sign.  If the teacher does not sign the exemption sheet, the student is not exempt.  On Friday, May 18, students will return exemption sheets with a parent signature.  Parents/guardians must sign the exemption sheet.  Students who are exempt from tests are not required to attend school during the exempted test or exempted test review session.

Students who are not exempt are required to attend both the review session and semester exam.  Failure to attend these sessions will result in unexcused absences, possible failure of class (Semester Test – 20% of grade), and possible loss of exemptions next semester.

Students cannot use discretionary days during Semester Exams.
