This is a Pilot program which will be reviewed to determine distribution to all grades during the 2010/2011 school year.

All students will take final examinations at the end of second semester; however seniors may be exempt from final examinations in any class if they meet one of the following criteria:

If the student has an A-or better in the class at the time of exams.

If the student has earned a C– or better at the time of exams and have no more than two absences in that class for any reason second semester, other than school related activities.

Students who have had disciplinary procedures requiring in-school or out-of-school suspension will not be able to exercise the aforementioned option.
