If you do not attend your classes because you’re anticipating a schedule change, those absences will be counted as cuts and may lead to a Saturday School assignment.

Next week, you will take the High School Exit Exam. On Tuesday, February 5, you will take the English portion during periods A2 and A3 of a regular block day. Then you will attend A4 as normal or, since the Exam is not timed, so you may continue working on the Exam. On Wednesday, February 6, you will take the Math portion, during B5, B6, and B7 of a minimum B day. You may continue working after school, if you wish. You will be assigned to a particular testing location, so check the flyers posted in the Main Office and around the school. Good luck on the Exam!
