Plans for Semester 2 Exams
Similar to Semester 1, our Semester 2 exams will take place virtually this year. We closely examined how our Semester 1 exams went and sought input from students, teachers and stakeholders to guide our decision-making for our semester 2 plans. We reflected on what worked and what adjustments need to be made. Our main intent is to provide an equitable experience for all students while maintaining the rigor and integrity of our exams. Please know that our departments and teachers are working hard to create virtual semester exams that capture the priority standards our students have learned over the course of this past semester. Our senior exam week will take place June 1st through June 4th, with June 7th and June 8th as an exam make-up days. Seniors will be remain at home this week for their virtual exams, while grades 9-11 students will be reporting for in-person learning. Our grades 9-11 exam week will take place June 16th through June 21st, with June 22nd and 23rd as an exam make-up days. Grades 9-11 will remain at home this week for their virtual exams. All students in Ms. Weeks, Ms. Lightftiz and Mr. Cronin’s classes will report in-person during both exam weeks. Please click here for our Semester 2 Exam Schedule (you will see the senior exam schedule on the first page, please scroll to the second page for the exam schedule for grades 9-11).
Please understand that it is important that students take their exams at the scheduled time. If, for some reason, a student misses an exam, permission to make-up the exam will require administrator approval. Decisions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If a student needs to make-up the exam, they will be expected to email Mr. Mac, Ms. Spas or Mr. Auth for approval prior to the exam make-up date.
