Final exams are about a month away. Take note of these highlights:

What are final exams?

• Finals are cumulative exams that provide students an opportunity to demonstrate mastery in a course

• Final exams may be a written exam, essay, performance assessment, or project that are part of standards and skills for the course

What is the goal of final exams?

• Final exams are given so that students may demonstrate growth and mastery in the given subject area

Who takes final exams?

• Students who have not yet demonstrated mastery of content by earning a grade of less than an A- (90%) by 17 Dec 2024

• Exceptions are included in this expectation, to include concurrent enrollment, credit recovery, and AP courses (individual teachers will communicate expectation)

• Final grades are now due the day before finals, not prior to full-school review days: many classes need to host classes up to final exams to provide instruction on needed topics of the semester
• Students need to check into all classes if they are on campus, even if they do not have to take the final exam in a particular class: they can receive a special pass to go to the commons after checking in
• Students stay on campus during final exams: students may not leave campus during the school day unless they have a free period

This month, we are showcasing student Emersen Sanchez. A peer nominated Emersen and had this to say about her:

This person is a very good advocate as a shining star because they have helped make an impact in classrooms. [She] is a very great example of what a focused student looks like and how they should be in the future of their education pathway and career.

This month, we will discuss how SCHS is maintaining strong performance in culture, instruction, and student success. Take a look at the visual below for meeting date and details.

We look forward to seeing you there!
