Mid-Term exams began on Friday, January 13 and will end on Friday, January 20. Two exams per day will be given. The exam schedule is determined by class periods this year. Periods D & E exams will be given on January 17, Periods F & G on January 18 and Period H on January 19. January 20 will serve as a make-up exam day.
The first exam will begin at 7:50 a.m. and the second exam at 9:35 a.m. Busing will be provided before school and after the second exam ends at 11:05 a.m. If students only have the first exam of the day, they can leave after the exam - if they drive or if they are picked up. If they only have the second exam of the day, they must arrive at school by 9:30 a.m. If students take Notre Dame busing and only have one exam, they can study in the cafeteria during their free time, where breakfast foods are available for purchase.
In the event of a snow day, exams are pushed off one day. In the event of a delayed opening, the first exam will be given at 10:00 am, concluding at 11:30, with the second exam running from 11:45 am to 1:15 pm.
Mid-Term exams count as ten percent of the final class average. Students must be present on their exam days. Permission must be granted by the administration for a make-up exam.
