📝 Our final exam schedule is now available in this week’s online newsletter. Exams will take place the week of December 15.
🕒 If you would like your child to leave early after exams, please remember that a signed and dated note is required each day you want them dismissed. The note must include your signature and a parent phone number and will serve as the student’s pass to exit the building.
📄 If your student has been absent, and you would like the absence to be excused, please send a note stating the reason. As a reminder, absences next week may affect exam exemption status, so please make sure to send documentation for any absence. All notes are due no later than this Friday, December 5.
