Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope that you are enjoying a happy and healthy holiday season. As noted in the Jr./Sr. High School calendar, midterm exams will be administered Friday, January 24th, and Monday, January 27th. Tuesday, January 28th will be a half day of instruction with the afternoon reserved for make-up exams and conflicts. Below you will find the daily schedule for exams and important related information.

1. For the 2024-2025 School year, exams will be administered in core subject courses only to grades 9-12 in the above time slots. If your child does not have a class in one of the subject areas listed, they do not need to report to school during that time slot on the 24th or the 27th.
2. Students are required to remain in the classroom for the full 2-hour exam period.
3. Any student who does not report for a scheduled exam will be required to attend the make-up exam session held in the cafeteria on Tuesday, January 28th starting at 12:45pm.
4. Students who fail to appear for an exam and who fail to appear for a make-up will be given an incomplete, with a 10-day window to reschedule.
5. Senior students are reminded that they must achieve a 92 or better during each marking period and on the midterm to be eligible for final exam exemption in a full-year course.

Midterm exams assist us in measuring student progress and monitoring our curriculum and instruction. We continue to evaluate our exam policies and their impact on the student body. Following this year’s exams, I will notify parents and students of any changes that may need to occur in the future. As always, the faculty and staff appreciate your continued support and cooperation. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Troy Lederman

Principal
