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) 

• No early exams. Students that miss with an excused absence/extenuating circumstance may make up a missed exam in the last week of January. Reach out to the AP office.

• 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.
