Non-SOL Class Exam Exemption Criteria
- Good Attendance - RCPS provides an incentive plan for exam exemptions (during second semester only) for students who meet the following criteria:
- If a student has 4 or less FULL DAY absences for the entire year, he/she may exempt 2 exams of his/her choice, provided he/she has not missed more than 4 days in each of the classes they wish to exempt. The record for class absences is based on the teacher’s grade book (and can be checked through Mrs. McKenzie). The full day rule will be in effect through the last day of regular classes. There is no exception for double-blocked classes.
- Students who have earned a final average of "A" in a course are exempt from taking the exam in that course; likewise, students who have earned an "A" average in a second semester course may also exempt that exam.
