Good morning UHS students and families! Starting on Thursday, May 28th through June 1, students will be taking final exams. The exam schedule is attached along with exam polices below:

1) Per district grading and assessment guidelines, semester and final exams for high school level courses are NOT eligible for reassessment.

2) Students who have study hall/lunch during the first or last exam period of the day may be excused with parent permission through Final Forms. Students who do not have parental permission form completed will be required to be in attendance from 7:35 am to 2:37 pm each exam day. If students are not excused for early dismissal, they will report to the HS Study Hall for 5/6 periods and the afternoon Study Hall.

3) Students may NOT leave the building if they have an exam during the first and last exam periods and study hall in the middle. They must report to their assigned study hall. (i.e. Students will not be allowed to take an exam, leave and then return for an exam.)

4) Students will not be dismissed early from exam periods. Attendance will be required for the entire exam period.

5) Buses will run at the normal time. Students who ride the bus home will be required to attend the afternoon study hall. Students may not leave school property and return to ride a school bus.

6) All absences for exam periods must be approved through the high school office and a doctor’s excuse may be needed. Exams must be taken during their scheduled period.

7) Unexcused absences will result in a failing score on the exam, as there is no reassessment option for exams.

8) Students who are excused by the office during an exam will be required to take exams during the exam make-up period.

9) At this time, students may qualify for up to two (2) exam exemptions in May.
Exemption Qualification – Quarter grades of As or Bs AND teacher permission.
