Worth Repeating

Finals Schedule

To assist you in planning for student arrival and departure during finals, we want to share some important information.

Finals for non-core classes will be December 10, 11, 12, and 13. This includes Music, PE, Arts, Health, Social Studies electives, English electives, Business and Computer. 

Finals for core classes are December 16, 17, 18 and 19. This includes English, Foreign Language, Math, Science, Social Studies and Theology. These days will be dress down days, per Student Handbook guidelines.

Students with a study hall period or who have already taken a non-core final will be permitted to arrive late/leave early. We will operate on the understanding that they will arrive late if the study hall/non-core class is the start of their day or leave early if the study hall/non-core class is the second period of their day. If you wish for your child to remain at school for the study hall period, please contact the main office. Students go directly to their classroom when they arrive.

Students should direct questions about semester finals to their teachers.

The cafeteria will be selling snacks during the break/study time between finals.

Testing and Absence –Semester Final Exams

Students must be present during all scheduled finals. The only excused absence is one due to extreme illness. A doctor’s note is required for verification. If a student is ill and needs to reschedule an exam, they must contact Vice Principal Heather Law, mrs.law@bwhs.org, for permission and arrangements. Exams will not be rescheduled for vacations, club sports, etc. Absences due to reasons other than illness may result in the student receiving 80% of the grade earned.
