Note:  The above document will be updated until May 31st with any new information.

The last day for seniors to attend their regularly scheduled classes is Wednesday, May 15th.  (Virtual Students last day is Friday, May 17th)

Seniors taking end-of-course exams will report to the Kiva at the start of the school day on Thursday, May 16th.  

All online GenNet or STRIDE classes must be completed and submitted by the end of the day on Thursday, May 17th. 

Seniors eligible for exam exemptions must meet ALL the following criteria:

• 2 unexcused absences or fewer per class
• 2 tardies or fewer per class
• Must have a B- (80%) or better in the course
• Parents must sign off on the exemption (even if you are 18 years old)
• Exemption form must be submitted on time, no late forms will be accepted

Exemption forms will be delivered to first-hour classrooms on May 6th.  They must be turned into the office no later than Friday, May 10th.  Even though an exemption form is turned in, final attendance and grade will still be tabulated through May 15th.  If an absence removes a student's exam exemption, the student will be notified and must take the scheduled exam.
