Good Evening, Ranger Families!
It's hard to believe we only have two weeks left of school! It's been such a pleasure to see our Rangers succeed this year.
The information below regarding final exam exemptions remains consistent with our communications since January. As a reminder, students exempt from final exams must still report to campus for attendance purposes. The exemption does not replace attendance, it only provides the opportunity for students to exempt the exam.
Underclassmen will receive their eligible exemptions this week. They will receive exemption tickets on Wednesday. Students will have teachers sign off that they meet the grade requirement and then students turn the signed forms back into student services. Students are required to be in attendance regardless of exemptions.,
Senior Final exams: Monday and Tuesday (regular bell schedule)
Final exams: May 21-23
