SEMESTER EXAMS

 

Each junior high student will take a cumulative semester exam in each required course and some elective courses at the conclusion of the fall term. This exam will comprise

20% of the semester grade. As a reward for good attendance and academic performance, some students may be exempted from semester exams in the spring, provided the following criteria are met.

 

· Students must have an “A” or “B” semester average in a particular class and no more than 6 absences for the second semester.

OR

· Students must have a “Csemester average and no more than 3 absences for a particular period the second semester.

 

There will be no distinction as to whether an absence is excused (documented) or unexcused (undocumented) for the purpose of determining semester exam exemptions. Absences are counted up to the final non-test day.

 

· A student must not have been assigned to In-School Suspension, Out of School

Suspension or Saturday School during the spring semester to receive exemption.

 

· A student must acquire 50 points through the Accelerated Reading program in order to be considered for exemption from semester exams. Exceptions to this qualification may be made at the discretion of the student’s English teacher. Such exceptions will be based on required modifications or length of enrollment at

Lake Hamilton Junior High.

 

· Any student who has three or more unexcused tardies in a particular class for the second semester will lose the test exemption privilege.

 

· An exempted student will not be required to take the second semester test in order to establish the final semester grade. If a student who is qualified for exemption chooses to take the final test, his/her grade will not be reduced as a result of the exam grade.

 

· No second semester tests will be given early.
