A: If students are exempting your final exam on Thursday or Friday, they do NOT have to come to school the day of your exam. However, you MUST email the other teachers on your grade-level team with those student names to ensure that those students are not marked absent.

Q: If students are exempting my final exam, what do I input as their final exam grade?

A: For those students that are exempting a final exam, you will need to input the average of their first and second quarter grade for their final exam grade. For instance, if a student earned a 94% first quarter and a 96% second quarter, their final exam grade would be 95%.

Q: If a student is suspended at the end of the quarter and/or during final exams, what happens to their grade?

A: If a student is suspended at the end of the quarter and/or during the final exam, the teacher gives the student an “incomplete” for the quarter and/or the semester final exam. When we return in January, the student has two weeks to complete the work from the quarter and/or to take the final exam. If the student does not complete the work and/or take the final exam, the student will receive an “F.” In either case, it is the teacher’s responsibility to email April within two weeks with the updated grade.

Q: A student did not come to school to take exams December 14 and/or December 15. What happens to their grade?
