SEMESTER TEST EXEMPTION POLICY PER THE HANDBOOK
Students in grades 6-12 will take a comprehensive final examination in each class after the fall and spring semesters of each school year. The classroom teacher will administer exams. Students MUST take each semester exam during the scheduled exam time. No exam will be given early. Students who perceive an unavoidable conflict with semester test scheduling may petition the principal for permission to take the semester test upon returning to school. Students taking the make-up test will receive an “incomplete” for the semester until the scores on the make-up test can be entered. Semester tests will have a weighting factor of twenty (20%) percent of the semester grade.
The “Open Campus Policy” is in effect only during semester tests. Students will be exempt from semester tests in the fall and spring semesters, if the following requirements are met.
● The letter grade of A or B with no more than six days absent for the semester. (A “day’s” absent from a class would be one absence from that class.) Students on school business, field trips, music clinics, etc. will not be considered as absent.
●No suspensions or ISS
