As we begin the Spring Semester, we also begin the start of Spring Exam Exemption Criteria. Starting tomorrow, January 7th, the student attendance criteria will begin and students cannot have more than 3 absences to qualify for exam exemptions. The criteria for exemptions is listed below.
Exemptions:
A student enrolled in courses earning high school credit (full-year or semester) may be exempt from the spring semester exam if the following criteria are met:
- For the Spring semester, the student has three or fewer absences, excluding school business absences;
- The student's final average for the spring semester is 80 or higher;
- The student's conduct grade in that class is satisfactory or better; and
- The student is in attendance during the scheduled exam time.
A student who is eligible for exemption may take the exam if desired.
Exam Weight:
The two graded quarters of each semester shall weigh 90 percent of the semester grade and the semester exam shall weigh 10 percent of the semester grade. If a student is exempt from the semester exam, the semester grade shall be calculated using only the two grade quarters of the semester.
