Dear Warrior Families

The end of the 2021-2022 school year is quickly approaching. Below is important information regarding finals. Please note that finals cannot be taken early. Vacations are not a reason to reschedule finals as that is not an excused absence. In the case of an unexcused absence a student would not be able to make up the exam. If a student needs an alternative date due to a medical issue to take a final they must contact me to apply for approval.

Guidance we be working quickly June 20th through June 24th to contact families if their student has failed courses and is eligible for summer school to assist in this process.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mobley
