EXAM EXEMPTION POLICY
1. Students who have an 85 or better average and no
more than 2 absences in a class may exempt the
exam. Three tardies equal an absence and are
cumulative across all periods. An exam in a full year
course may be selected either first OR second
semester. A student is limited to 3 exemptions per
semester and is accountable for keeping up with the
number of exemptions.
2. Students who have financial obligations may not exempt exams.
Students who exempt one exam on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and because of transportation issues have
to be in school all day, MUST go to and remain in the supervised study hall, in the cafeteria during the exam period
for which they are exempt.
Students who exempt both exams on a given day MUST (district policy) come to school that day and sign an
attendance register.
Students must remain in their classes or in the supervised study hall in the cafeteria until the end of each
exam period.
