FROM THE OFFICE
Exam Schedules
Exam sittings for junior high students begin at 8:45 a.m. (like every school day) and proceed until 11:45 a.m. Jr. High Students are required to stay in their exam room until 11:45 am for all exams. Students cannot be excused from school until that time (except for emergencies). During exam week, afternoon classes continue for junior high students according to their regular schedule. Typically, these times are utilized for studying or other learning opportunities. Please call or email the office to inform the school if your child will not be attending their afternoon classes on exam days.
Exam Schedules will be posted ASAP!
