Students must remain in their classroom for the entire examination period and should bring appropriate materials to read if they finish their exam prior to the end of the period. Students need be present in school only when they have an exam scheduled. Exemptions from final exams are available only for grade 12 students who have maintained an average of 90 or above for all full year (1 credit) courses, and for one semester (.5 credit) classes with the exception of science. Students with an unexcused absence from an exam are not entitled to make it up. A parent or guardian must call in to report a student absence and the reason. Students who miss an exam must see teachers on their first day back to arrange for make-up exams. Important, please note that it is the sole responsibility of the individual student to ensure all his/her exams are scheduled and completed. Students who arrive late will take the exam during the assigned period; the exam will not be re-scheduled. During the exam period, parents can assist us by checking the exam schedule and ensuring students are present for their scheduled exams. We also ask for your cooperation in: Not asking that students be dismissed early from an exam; Not calling in to leave a message for a student, except in an emergency; Ensuring your child arrives on time; Scheduling appointments after noon on exam days. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Joseph R. Dobbins Principal
