Finals Exam Policy
Any student who requests to leave school before teachers have administered final exams may take the final exam during summer vacation or no later than the first week of the next school year. Teachers do not administer finals in advance, as it has impacted the validity of the test. A principal will administer the exam to the student and the teacher will submit a grade change form upon return in the fall. During the interim, the grade would be an incomplete. Any student wishing to pursue this option must meet with the grade-level administrator to coordinate the exams.
