    Steps:

      1. Students will email the teacher(s) of the course they wish to exempt. All emails will be standardized (Example: subject will read “Exemption request”) to allow teachers to easily store/sort/respond.  
      2. Teachers will receive the email, then check to see that the student qualifies- 85+ average (85+ for AP) as well as check to see if any student debt is owed.
      3. Teacher will return the student’s email stating they are EXEMPT from that exam or NOT EXEMPT from that exam (and state reason why: grade average below 85 (85+ for AP/owe debt) 

     

    Reminders: 

    • No Early exams. Students that miss with an excused absence/extenuating circumstance may make up a missed exam in January.  
    • Students that are exempt will still report to your class during test time. 
    • Students with debt will be cleared as soon as payment is received. Debt is paid in the AP Office.
