GUIDANCE
- Semester exams begin on Wednesday, December 19 and continue to Friday, December 21.
- While every effort is made to schedule so that no conflicts occur, it is not possible to avoid them all. If your student has two exams scheduled for the same hour, it is her/his responsibility to talk to the teachers involved to set up an alternative testing time for one of the conflicting exams.
- Students who have first hour exams are expected to remain for chapel and those who start their day with second hour exams should arrive on time for chapel, which precedes second hour.
- Students who have first and third hour exams but do not have a second hour exam will be required to stay on campus and attend the study hall provided.
