All classes meet during final exam days except pre-approved courses, wellness, lunch, VAMP/advisory, and study halls. Students that are up to 10 minutes late will be counted as tardy; students arriving more than 10 minutes late, will meet with administration to determine if the student can take their final exam as scheduled or if the final should be made up in test make-up.

Student absences during final exams:

All absences during final exams must be coordinated with the student's administrator to determine the next steps. Students have the ability to take exams during winter break. Students who do not take their final exam(s) will need to take them BEFORE they can begin semester 2 classes.
