    Final Exam Key Points

    • All students (Both Plan B and Plan-D Virtual Academy) enrolled in EOC & CTE State Exam classes are expected to attend in-person on their scheduled day. 
    • No other students will be allowed on campus during exam week. 
    • Students enrolled in EOC and CTE State-test courses are required to take the final exam.  Students who do not participate in testing will receive a “0” for the exam.  Exam scores count as 25% of a student’s final grade calculation.
    • The daily testing window will be from 8:30 am to approximately 12:30 pm.  Students will not be allowed to leave the testing session until all testing within the building is complete.  If students wish to sign-out after their exam, they will need to provide a parent note to their exam period teacher on each day of testing.  Buses will only run at the normal dismissal time at the end of the school day.
    • Teachers will communicate their specific testing format, date, and room locations. Students should confirm final exam procedures with teachers ASAP.
