Final Exam Information – Please Read Carefully
Students have received an Exam Exemption Form. This form indicates whether they are exempt from their final exams and provides all instructions for exam week, December 16–19.
All students must return their Exam Exemption Form to the office, whether they are exempt or not.
If a student wishes to sign out after exams, or if they are exempt but still plan to attend school on exam days, the form must be signed by a parent/guardian before being returned.
For full details, please review the Exam Exemption Form your student received.
Please note, for exempted students:
•Attendance will still be taken every single day during exam week. This is necessary to know exactly which students are on campus for safety and accountability.
• Students who are exempt and choose not to attend school during exam days will be marked absent in PowerSchool.
• PowerSchool will still send an automated absence call. If your child is exempt and not on campus, this call may be disregarded.
• These absences will not affect their exam or attendance exemption status.
