Midterms and Finals Week Information
Study Halls, Lunch/Studies, and Lunch/Advisories
Study halls, lunch/studies, and lunch/advisories will run during Midterms and Finals Week. Students will report to their study or advisory classrooms for those exam periods. Students will be able to catch up on missing/late school work or study for upcoming exams in a quiet atmosphere. There is no exam for study halls, lunch/studies, or lunch/advisories.
Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals
Late arrivals and early dismissals during Midterms and Finals Week will follow procedures similar to a normal school day. Students arriving late for school must enter through the Front Office. Students arriving late will need to have a signed note from their parents/guardians.
Students that are going to be dismissed early must have a note with their first and last names, the time they are being dismissed, and their parents’/guardians’ signature. Prior to each exam teachers will collect dismissal notes for input into Power School. Only students with signed dismissal notes will have permission to leave school. Students who leave without a dismissal note will be subject to the appropriate discipline as outline in the TRSD Code of Discipline.
Seniors and Juniors who have late arrival and early dismissal privileges must follow the same procedures as a normal school day by signing-in/signing-out in the Front Office.
Extra Help Sessions and Class Meetings
Extra help sessions will be available on Wednesday and Thursday of Midterms and Finals Week. Extra help sessions will rotate by grade. Teachers whose student load is primarily a specific grade will be available during these extra help sessions. While students are encouraged to take advantage of the extra help sessions, the extra help sessions should not be the only times students study for their exams.
Class meetings will be held available on Wednesday and Thursday of Midterms and Finals Week to go over the 2014-2015 Program of Studies, the course registration process, and other class specific information.
Attendance for Exams
Students must be on time for all of their exams. Tardiness to exams will not be tolerated. In order to create a successful exam-taking environment, unnecessary distractions and interruptions must be kept to a minimum. If a student arrives late to an exam, the student will be prohibited from taking the exam at that time. The student must make up the exam during the Make-Up Exam period or must make alternative arrangements with their teacher.
If a student is absent for an entire exam day, the student will need to make arrangements with their teachers as soon as they return to school. One such arrangement could be taking an exam during the Make-Up Exam period. If there are extraordinary circumstances, a student and his/her parents/guardians should contact the student’s guidance counselor to help facilitate make-ups.
