Please note the attached semester exam schedule. All students are required to take a semester exam for any FHS core class they have on their schedule, as well as BIM. English, Math, Science, Social Studies/History, BIM (Business Information Management) all have mandatory exams. Students could be exempted from all other semester exams if they meet the criteria stated in this attachment. Keep in mind:
1) If a student misses a mandatory class that appears on the schedule they will not be exempted from any future exams (unless they turn in a timely doctor's note or their parent has secured administrative approval).
2) Students should remain in class even after finishing their exam as it is distracting to leave while others are testing, plus this takes away any incentive to rush.
3) Students who are exempt from an exam may only leave campus if they have a parent permission slip on file (students may get these in the front office). Permission slips must be turned in prior to Dec 14 (by the end of Tue, December 13).
4) Students who are exempt from an exam may still choose to take the exam if they are trying to raise their grade. The exam should only help the student's overall grade in this situation.
Good luck, Farmers!
