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
- 1st/3rd quarter grad
- 2nd/ 4th quarter grade
- 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:
