Exemption Information and Exam Schedules may be found on the left toolbar as they become available.
Please review this exemption process for Spring 2022 Semester Exams.
Eligibility:
- Students must have an 85+ average in Pre-AP/on-level courses, and 85+ in AP/6.0 weight courses. Teachers determine the course average for the student by adding the 3rd 9 weeks report card grade with the 4th 9 weeks grade and dividing by 2.
- Freshmen can exempt up to 2 exams (if they qualify), Sophomores up to 3, Juniors up to 4, and Seniors up to 5
- Students that have been placed in ISS/OSS/DAEP during the Spring semester will NOT be eligible for exemptions. If a student has a debt, it must be cleared with the A.P. office BEFORE a teacher can grant an exemption.

- Teachers will receive the email then check to see that the student qualifies- 85+ average (85+ for AP). If the student does have an 85+ average, the teacher will then check and see if student owes any debt.
- 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)
Reminders and Answers to NEW FAQs:
- No Early exams. Students that miss with an excused absence/extenuating circumstance may make up a missed exam in June.
- Students that are exempt will still report to your class during test time if they are on campus. Example: I am taking 1st and 3rd period exams, but am exempt from 2nd period. I will still report to 2nd period during exam time.
