Students are required to stay in exams rooms for at least one hour. Silence is needed in the halls when exams are running. Noise in halls, foyers, and stairwells carries to exam rooms. Because many exams last longer than one hour,  students are asked to move quietly to the cafeteria or exit the school as soon as they are done their exam to allow everyone to have the best chance to do well on their final exam. 

IMPORTANT EXAM INFORMATION

1. If a student is absent from an exam because of illness or other unavoidable circumstance, a parent/guardian must contact the school immediately on the day of exam. A medical note may be requested verifying that the absence was due to illness.

2. A student who arrives late for an exam due to an unacceptable reason (i.e. sleeping in, missing the bus, etc.) will be admitted to the exam and will be allowed to write as much of the exam as can be completed in the remaining time. No additional time will be given to the student.

3. If the reason for missing an exam is approved by the administration prior to the exam date, the student will receive no penalty for missing the exam. The final mark may be based on other term work or the exam may be rescheduled.

4. All students writing an exam will remain in the exam room for a minimum of one hour. There is no dismissal before that time.

5. Upon completion of an exam, students may go quietly to their locker. Then students must go quietly to the cafeteria, a prearranged place to complete work, or leave the school. STUDENTS MUST NOT BE IN THE HALLS DURING EXAMS.

6. The cafeteria is not open for food service during exams.

7. Texts and other loan materials MUST be returned by the day of the exam.

8. Cell phones are not permitted. Students will be asked to leave bags and backpacks at the front of the room.

Exams are important. Study hard, and do your best!
