All exams will be held in the library lab.

SENIORS: Please note the Biology exam has the longest sections which go beyond the normal school day. A ride home will be needed on that date.

JUNIORS: Please note that the Psychology and Spanish exams are the same date!

Students will be allowed to come in only for exams on these dates and will not be required to attend regularly scheduled classes. A form will be sent home for parent approval. ONLY students who return the form will be provided with these accommodations. Students who did not submit an IA or other exam component will not test and will attend classes.

See Ms. Forman for any questions or concerns.

Mr. Rahman says "Myeva comes to class everyday prepared to work hard and master course content. She is doing an excellent job and is a pleasure to have in class!"

Mr. Rahman says "I actually do not teach Abdul directly in a course this year, but he has shown up to several Saturday morning KHS Re-Engagement Sessions to work on his AP Environmental Science course, and I have given him a little bit of assistance here and there. He is a very dedicated student. I hope to maybe have him as a student in my class one day!"
