!!!ATTENTION ALL JH/HS PARENTS!!!
It is about that time to start thinking of the end of the first semester!
Semester testing will be on December 18th and 19th , Monday the 18th being ODD Hour testing and Tuesday the 19th being EVEN hour testing. Both days will be an early dismissal at 12:30.
We strongly encourage all absences coded AA on your parent portal be cleared up as soon as possible so that the office can determine wheteher your student must come to school those days to test.
The policy this year is as follows:
Eligibility
1. Students who maintain an “A” average and who have no more than Four excused absences.
2. Students who maintain a “B” average and who have no more than Three excused absences.
3. Students who maintain a “C” average and have Two excused absence.
4. The averages and absences are on an individual class basis.
5. Three absences due to the death of an immediate family member and three doctor absences will not be
counted against attendance for the purpose of semester test exemption. Students must bring back a funeral
program or a note from the doctor.
Ineligibility
Any unexcused absence and/or an office referral (principal’s discretion) makes a student ineligible for participation
in the Semester Test Exemption Plan.
