High School and Exemption Forms
Teachers:
Good Morning! I am in the process of distributing Exemption Forms to students today. I wanted to go over a few things with you so that we are all on the same page.
Exemptions were put into place to encourage and reward good attendance and behavior. This is not a privilege entitled to every student simply because they are enrolled in our school…it is a REWARD.
Please pass this on to your students.
The rules are very simple……

If you have been in ISS, DAEP or if you have been suspended this semester, then you can’t be exempt. The average that a student must have in your class in order to be exempt is based on the number of absences that he or she has in your class.
A. If a student has 0-1 excused absence in your class, their semester average must be an
80 or above
B. If a student has 2 excused absences in your class, their semester average must be an
85 or above
C. If a student has 3 excused absences in your class, their semester average ,must be a
90 or above
If a student has an unexcused absence in your class, they may not be exempt from your test.
Notes for unexcused absences will not be accepted at this point. It is the students’ responsibility to turn in notes within 5 days of returning to school after they have been absent.
Please do not give the student the attendance information that you see in your grade book as this includes extracurricular absences in the total number and those do not count.
Jrs. & Srs. may be exempt from 3 exams and 9th & 10th grade may be exempt from 2 exams.
EXEMPTION FORMS ARE DUE BY MONDAY, JANUARY 13TH AT 4:00 P.M.
Please do not sign a student’s exemption form if you have not finished entering your 3rd six weeks grades as the semester average that you put on the form will not be correct.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to come see me.
