On Final Exam Days, students are only required to be on campus for exam and 'review session' periods unless the student is exempt from the final exam or if the exam or 'review session' is a scheduled study hall period.

This includes Assigned Resource Rooms, PSAE Prep Classes, Supported Study Halls, Guided Study Halls, LRP Access, ELL/ESL Access, and as student aides. Students who have a study hall on their schedule that happens to fall in the "middle" of an exam day have the option of leaving the building or staying in the student cafeteria until their next exam. Students who stay on campus during unassigned times must report to the student cafeteria. Final Exam Schedule
If a student has an excused absence for a final exam, the student should utilize the afternoon of Monday, January 5, 2015, to make-up the final exam as a make-up session. <<read more>>
