Welcome everyone and Happy New Year! January marks my fourth month as the Acting Principal of Wall High School.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

I’ve always been excited to work along with others to help educate young adults. I feel blessed to be a part of the Wall Community.

Please know that I will be meeting with parents in an open meeting on the following dates: February 14th, and May 9th. Our Parent Advisory meetings start at 9:00 a.m. on the dates above and are held in the media center. Certainly, you can reach out to me anytime should you have any questions or concerns about your child.

Mid-Term Exams are scheduled for January 18th - January 24th. The schedule is listed below. Students are required to be present and on time for all exams at the scheduled exam time. If you are sick on the morning of an exam or have any other emergency, your parent/guardian must call Ms. Berardo, 732-556-2047 and email your teacher as well. Make-up exams will be taken during the scheduled make-up exam day on January 24th. In the case of an extended illness, arrangements will be made through the School Counseling Department. In all other situations, the student shall receive a “0” for a missed exam. All exams must be made up by Wednesday, February 1, 2023. Your teachers will provide study guides for each exam and review the exam schedule with you.

Please note: In the event of inclement weather and school is closed, the exam schedule will commence on the next day of school. If the district has a delayed opening during the exam schedule, exams will not be administered and will be scheduled for the next day of school.

SENIOR FINAL EXAM EXEMPTIONS

There are no exemptions from mid-term exams. In the case of semester courses, where the exam is actually a final exam, seniors who have earned at least a 91 average for marking periods one and two and neither marking period average is below an 88, will be exempt from the semester course exam.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher, school counselor, or an administrator.
