EXAMS EXEMPTION POLICY
All students will take final examinations at the end of
each nine weeks. Students will take their exams at times
designated by the administration. Final exams count 20%
of the semester grade. Final exams will not be given
early. Be aware that bad weather days may affect
the end of school and final exams.
Exemption Policy
Advanced Placement "AP" Exams - Regardless
of the number of absences, any student (9th-12th) enrolled
in an AP class during the spring term who takes the AP
test and has at least an 85 average in
the class, will be exempt from the exam in that class.
Semester Exam Exemptions:
Only seniors, during the second nine weeks of the
spring term, are eligible for semester exam exemptions.
Requirements for exemptions are as follows:
- Grade averages for exemptions are based on the final
9 week course grade or final 18 week course grade.
- Attendance for exam exemption is based on the
18-week attendance period from January through May.
- For the purpose of counting absences the following
will apply:
- School-sponsored absences do not count against a
student for exemption purposes, but all other absences
whether excused or unexcused count toward exemption
status. These absences include medical issues, pre-arranged
absences, family emergencies, etc...
- Any absence due to truancy or suspension disqualifies
a student for exemption.
- Three tardies will count as one absence.
- College days will count as an absence toward exemption
status.
- Seniors who qualify for exemption may take the final
exam if desired.
- Students who are exempt must attend school on the day
of the exam.
