Students and parents are reminded that during midterm and final exam weeks, all absences from exams require pre-approval from an administrator.  Absences compromise test security and complicate the grade reporting process.  Very few requests for make-up exams will be granted.  Acceptable reasons for missing an exam include a death in the family, a court date or a serious illness.  Please schedule doctor’s appointments and family trips around these exam weeks.  They are scheduled well in advance.  Midterm exams will be given the week of January 23 through January 27, 2012.  Final exams for seniors begin the second week in June.  For all others, final exams are administered between June 11 and June 15, 2012.
