Accommodated Testing - Final Exams

Final Exams are culminating evaluations used by teachers to measure the progress of students over the entire semester. Student’s final grades are calculated based on a formula that includes

1. 1^st/3^rd  quarter grad
2. 2^nd/ 4^th  quarter grade
3. Final Exam grade

In keeping with School Board Policy, students must pass a combination of two of the three components. Accommodations for final exams are not given automatically; students are encouraged to sign up to take exams with IEP/504 accommodations following the procedures outlined below:
