The 4^th – 8^th Grade teachers have decided to start giving Semester Exams. One will be prior to Winter Break and the other will be prior to Summer Break.  These exams will be cumulative in nature covering all the information from August to December for the Fall Semester and January to May for the Spring Semester.  The test will count double of a normal test in each classroom.

Semester Exam Exemption Policy:

1.       Each class counts individually.  A student is allowed 3 absences from each class.  3 tardies or early sign outs equal 1 absence.

2.       Grades 4-6 Science and Social Studies attendance will be taken for both classes and added up.

3.       The student must have at least a “C” average in the class they are seeking to be exempt from.
