Since having a semester test schedule is new for the BMS this year we thought you would like to know the testing schedule and information early. You will also find the test exemption policy below.
EXAM EXEMPTION MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL
● The test exemption will be for students in grades 6-12 who maintain an 80% each 9 weeks and no more than 5 absences. In addition, those students with at least a 70% each 9 weeks and perfect attendance will also be exempt. The only exception to absences will be school activity.
● An exempt student may leave campus for the remainder of the day once the testing period is complete and by following the regular checkout procedures.
● It will be the responsibility of the teacher to keep an accurate record of absences.
● An exempt student who feels the exam will raise his/her grade may do so, or may use the time to study for another test.
● It will be the responsibility of the teachers to provide the principal with a list of all exempt students who have met all the qualifications.
● A student who has been assigned ISS/Corporal Punishment or who has been suspended loses all possibility for exemption for the semester.
