9:45-11:35…………………Exam makeup
Absence from exam: Families are reminded to call the high school attendance office before 9:00 a.m. to report an illness. The student will then be placed on the list for makeup privileges. Please do not use the sick line to report absences. Call the attendance office at 686-1770, extension 3009. Students who have not been called in by a parent/guardian will not receive makeup privileges for the exam missed. Students are not required to report to a study hall period. If they do report, they must remain in their study hall classroom the entire period. Students may not take exams outside of scheduled times unless administrative approval is given.
Students and families who know in advance of unforeseen or emergent situations necessitating absences from exams should contact their grade-level administrator as soon as possible.
Bus Transportation: Buses will run their usual morning schedule. Tuesday through Thursday, buses will leave the school seven minutes following the last scheduled exam (not including exam makeup period). Students must leave the building immediately following the last exam taken on those days, unless participating in a school-sponsored activity or meeting with a teacher.
Cheating: Dishonesty on the part of a student will result in a zero for the examination. Students are not to talk, look upon another student’s paper, peer about the room or in any way give the appearance they are illegally seeking help. This includes the use of a cell phone or other electronic device during the exam.
Dress Code & Conduct: Students are reminded that exam days are considered regular school days, thus the school dress code and code of conduct remain in effect.

When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
