Semester Exam Exemption Rule Change
After 3 absences a student will lose the semester exam exemption for that class.
“To qualify for an exemption from final examinations, a student shall have no more than three absences in a class in order to be exempt from the semester exam for that class. Days missed because of approved school-related or school-sanctioned activities [FDD and FM(LOCAL)] and pre-approved college days shall not count against a student. College days are limited to junior and senior students who may make a total of two college visits, provided they have prior permission from the principal and return with a document certifying that the absence was to visit an institution of higher learning. On the day of scheduled semester examinations, exempt students must be present and sign in during the time of the regular second period class. The principal shall designate the process for student accounting. Semester testing day shall not count as an absence for exempt students.”
Students can have no more than 3 absences in a class to earn an exemption. This is any type of absence (medical, illness, unexcused, excused, etc.)
Except for pre-approved college visits (junior or seniors only) or school sanctioned-activities
Exempt students must be present and sign in during the time of the regular 2nd period class on the day of the examination
