LFHS First Semester Exam Information 2016-17

The final exams provide an opportunity for a culminating assessment in our classes. Our exam schedule was created with the following considerations in mind:
  • Testing accommodations for students with IEPs and 504 Plans.
  • An attempt, based on student enrollment, to decrease the likelihood of students having more than two exams on one day.
 
 
General Expectations
  • All students are required to attend class during their scheduled class period and are expected to remain in the class for the duration of the exam time.
  • Make-up exams should be dropped off to Mrs. Marsha Baldacci in the Main Office. Make-up exams will be proctored on Thursday and Friday in the Library Classroom by support staff.
  • Students are not required to attend school during study halls or free periods.
Three Exams
  • We have tried to balance the exam schedule. In the case that a student has three exams scheduled on a single day and it has been identified as a concern, the student may reach out to the teacher(s) prior to Winter Break to make arrangements to reschedule an exam. This is an agreement between the student and the teacher(s).
Extended Time Accommodations
  • Teachers may monitor extended time with students, but the Library Classroom is also an identified space for students to receive their testing accommodations.
  • If a student has extended time accommodations and needs additional time following the exam period, the teacher or aide should bring the exam to the Library Classroom (Tues/Wed - IEP/504 only, Thurs/Fri - all) where the students will have time to finish the exam.
  • In the case that a student needs more than 30 minutes (50 min. max) to finish the exams in the Library Classroom, the student will be able to stay and complete the exam.
  • In the case that a student misses the next exam, due to extended time accommodations, the student will make up the exam by the end of the day or as arranged by the case manager.
Library
  • The Library will have extended hours for finals. On Saturday, January 7, 
    the library will be open from 11:00am - 4:00pm. From January 9-11, the 
    library will be open until 8:00 pm. 
Cafeteria
  • The Cafeteria and Coffee Bar will be open. 
Quiet Study
  • Students can engage in quiet study and exam preparation in our Peer Tutoring Center (2nd Floor Library), the Humanities Resource Center (Publick Room), or the Library.
Student Transportation
  • We will provide more information about transportation at a later date.
Thank you!
