The philosophy of exams dictates that they are to be given only at the time they are scheduled. No semester or final exams may be taken early without administrative approval. Excuses to be absent from final examinations must be obtained from the appropriate assistant principal at least one week (five school days) prior to the examination. Such excuses are strongly discouraged but if granted, examinations will be taken after the scheduled final examination. If a student fails to report for a final examination and fails to make-up the exam, the teacher will give that student a 0% on the exam for the course.
AP COURSES -- Students who do not take an AP Exam must take the course’s final exam.
Seniors who need a passing grade on a final exam to achieve a passing grade in the course, are required to take a final exam. Teachers may choose to give final exams to seniors in their courses. All students, including all seniors and December graduates, must take semester exams in December.
