Words from Secondary, 09.12.2022

Below is the High School Exam Schedule. Students are required to be in attendance for all class times, whether their class is giving an exam or have a final project. Any student who has a very difficult exam day can request to take one of those exams during a Make-Up session (send an email in advance to Mr. Balding). Students are not required to be in attendance during a Make-Up exam session if they are not taking an exam at that time. Students who have free periods are not required to be in attendance during that time.  

If a student is going to be absent for any exam days, they must complete a Pre-Arranged Absence form (get one in the office) and turn it in to the office. An alternate exam schedule will be arranged.  

The Daily Schedule will change for the second semester. H block will no longer be advisory in the High School and will be replaced by a selection of elective classes to engage our students. Middle School students will switch electives, they will be choosing those in the next week. The things that were done in advisory (Social Emotional Learning, MIT Challenges, Assemblies, College Visits, etc. ) will now be done in Flex. You will also notice that the HS and MS Schedules are different, this was necessary to alleviate the issue with long lunch lines.He re are the schedules for the 2nd semester: 

• MS Schedule 22-23 (Sem 2) .docx 
• HS Schedule 22-23 (Sem 2)
