Schedule & Requirements for Semester Exams/Experiences December 16-20
October 31, 2024
We want to remind families that Semester 1 exams/experiences will take place the week of December 16, and we will provide updates along the way. Our goal is to ensure that all students are fully supported and ready for these assessments, which reflect learning throughout both quarters in a semester and support college and career preparation.
Plan ahead:
-
Plan for the what ifs, such as unexpected illness on a designated day of exams, as you review the semester exams/experiences schedule:
-
Do NOT leave town prior to the afternoon of December 20, as you will not be allowed to make up the exams and will receive a zero, which counts for 10% of the semester grade. Grades are due at 4:00pm on December 20.
-
Students who are absent due to a medically documented circumstance must receive approval from the Assistant Superintendent/Principal to make up their exams during the designated make-up exam times, or they will earn a zero for the exam.
-
-
Prior to fall break, we will be providing additional resources and guidance to help students prepare, as well as communication reminders in December.
Students and families can support student success together by taking the following steps provided by ETHS:
-
Daily: Use our Academic Resources, including AM Support at 8:00am every day, where students can get help from their teachers.
-
On weekends: Review Home Access Center (HAC) and Google Classroom together each week to make sure their assignments are up-to-date and identify any areas where they may need support.
-
As needed: Use our social emotional supports, Rebel Human (login with your eths202.org email), and the ETHS Virtual Calming Room to help your student manage stress and support their overall wellbeing.
