Exam Schedule 2017-2018

●Please review calendar. Please notice that Thursday, Dec. 21, has timelines unlike Monday-Wednesday.

●Per GISD policy, exams may not be taken until 12:45 PM except on Thursday.

●Students must be in school a minimum of 4 hours, regardless of “Early Release.”

Seniors, who are permitted to be exempt, still must be present for the exam in order to be counted present in our attendance records. However, that absence will not count towards the student’s overall absences needed to qualify for being exempt. See Exemption Policy below.

EVHS has decided to swap Exams on Wednesday with Thursday’s Exams.

Therefore, on Wed. Dec. 20, we will allow GHS students who have their 2A or 2B class AT EVHS to go to EVHS for their 2A and 2B exam. These students, who miss their 1st and 5th GHS Exam on Wednesday because of that EVHS conflict, will be permitted to take their 1st and 5th Exam after 1:00 PM on Thursday, or they can make special arrangements with teachers to take their missed exam Thursday morning. Teachers are encouraged to make these arrangements with their students. For those EVHS students who come to GHS for 2A and 2B, they will come to us at our designed time on Thursday.
