 Senior Exemptions 

Seniors who wish to be exempt from their Spring Semester finals must meet the following criteria:

1) an 85 average in the course (average of both 9 weeks report card grades)

2) meet HISD attendance policies (no more than 3 absences*)

3) at least an “S” in conduct 

*does not matter if they are excused or unexcused 

Each teacher is responsible for exempting those seniors in their class that meet the above criteria.  If the student is exempt, the teacher will mark “exempt” in Chancery instead of a final exam grade. 

Seniors who are exempt must still attend class that day, as finals are administered a week early. 

Senior Final Exam Schedule 

Senior Final Exams will be administered the week before underclassmen finals.  Finals will be administered the week of May 19th as follows:

May 19th          Monday           1st and 3rd periods

May 20th          Tuesday           5th and 7th periods

May 21st          Wednesday      2nd and 4th periods

May 22nd          Thursday          6th and 8th periods 

These days are regular school days – the exam must be administered during the 90 minute class period.  No early dismissal for seniors.

Makeup exams may be scheduled at any time during this week including Friday, May 23rd

All Senior grades must be inputted into Chancery no later than Friday afternoon, May 23rd.  This is so the registrar can verify grades and create the graduating seniors list. 

IMPORTANT:  If you teach a senior in an underclassmen course – if they are GRADUATING this May or in the summer – you will administer these students their finals according to the schedule above. You will also need to input their final exam grades and averages into Chancery by Friday, May 23rd.  If you teach a senior but they are NOT graduating this May or in the summer, they will take their final exams with the rest of the students during the week starting Friday, May 23rd and ending Thursday, May 29th

Senior Activities during Finals Week 

All seniors are REQUIRED to attend school during finals week – starting on Friday, May 23rd.  There are senior activities planned for these days.
