FINAL EXAMS **Please see calendar for exam schedule**
All students in grades 6-12 are required to take a final exam in every subject. These exams, given during exam week in June, are cumulative in nature and can cover all the facts, skills, and concepts learned during the year. Each final exam will count for 10% of the student's grade for the year. The score earned on the exam shall be recorded as a separate grade but is averaged with the preceding four quarterly grades in order to determine the final grade for the year.
On final exam days, students (grades 6-12) are only required to be at school if they have an exam scheduled. Students in grades 6-12 will not be allowed to take a make-up final without a doctor’s note, if there was a death in the family, and/or the approval of the Teacher and Administration in the case of a senior. If a student does not have an exam on a given day of exam week, he or she does not have to come to school that day. Students are required to be at school on time for all exams and may leave immediately after their last test session of the day is dismissed. If a student arrives to school late for their exam they will not be allowed to take the exam.
Students are not allowed to hang around the school building after their last test. Any student waiting for a ride must wait in the foyer.
Students are required to maintain quiet during an entire exam session, even if they finish early. Students may not talk in the hall or go to lockers. The dress code still applies on exam days and for the remainder of the year. Any student violating the dress code will not be allowed to take his or her exam on that day. He/she will have to make up the exam on the scheduled end-of-year field trip day. Junior high students who are taking a high school course (such as Algebra I) are required to take the final exam for that subject. Any student who is taking an independent study class must speak to his or her teacher to arrange a testing time. Seniors who have an A average (90-100) for the entire school years in any given subjects are exempt from the exam. If the teacher allows it, and the student has a note from their parent, they will be allowed to leave the premises. The students must leave the building to maintain a quiet atmosphere for those students still testing. They are not allowed to use the office phone for permission to be dismissed; however, they can be dismissed with written notification from their parent.
The following procedures are to be followed relative to the return of student books.
- Students are not allowed to take the final exam unless subject book is returned to subject teacher.
- Students who have not returned subject book(s) on date of subject exam(s) will be sent home.
