Helpful Information for Families
Built-In Teacher Support:We are excited to offer dedicated finals retake and intervention time from 1:30 PM to 3:45 PM on both days. This window provides an opportunity for any student who needs extra assistance, retakes, or guidance directly from their teachers to succeed.
Planning for Exam Times: All teachers will administer their exams during these scheduled blocks unless prior arrangements have been made with the Principal. In addition, finals may not be taken early unless prior approval has been granted by the Principal.
Make-Up Opportunities: If an exam needs to be rescheduled under approved circumstances, make-up exams will be coordinated directly through the student's course instructor.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership as we encourage our students toward a successful end of the semester!
