Moving a Test Within the Finals Schedule: With approval from the teacher, finals can be moved from one day to another as long as it is within the 3 day finals schedule. This is especially helpful if your student has three difficult finals in one day. These request forms are available in the counselors’ offices and due back by Monday, December 12. Students must complete all of their finals before the Christmas Break. If students fail to do this, they earn a zero for the final exam.

Final Exam Days are Open Campus. Students are responsible for being in class on time.
Lunch: During finals, students have Open Lunch. Our cafeteria will stock sandwiches, chips and other light lunch options if students opt to stay at school. Lunch may also be ordered to be delivered to the school and paid for on delivery by the student(s). (Please remind your student to tip the delivery person). Often times, a group will go in together to place an order. Students are also welcome to go get food and bring it back to school to eat while they get in some last minute studying.
Dress Code: For a $5.00 donation, a dress code pass may be purchased and used for all three days. If you purchase a pass, you may wear appropriate jeans (no holes!) or sweatpants (no yoga pants, jeggings, etc.) and casual shirts. Jeans passes will be available beginning Monday, December 12 in Mrs. Nussbaum’s office and proceeds from the dress code passes go toward our Senior Class Charity, Special Olympics Illinois.
