Cambridge Crest of Honor
Coach St. James
Congratulations to our October Cambridge Crest of Honor recipient, Coach St. James. His caring nature and years of experience are a valuable asset to Cambridge. Coach St. James goes the "extra mile," literally, daily by making connections with students well beyond the classroom as a supportive and determined coach, an activity bus driver, and a driver's ed teacher, and he is well deserving of our Crest of Honor.

Students must meet all qualifications of the exemption policy at the time they make their exemption request. Request will be made through the Final Exam Exemption Request form that will be posted to
www.cambridgehs.org
beginning Thursday, November 29, 2017. The exemption request window will close at 4:00 pm, Tuesday, December 5, 2017. Students who are approved for final exam exemption will be notified by their teacher (for the exam they have requested to exempt) by Wednesday, December 13, 2017.
In addition, students must obtain parent/guardian approval to exempt any final. If a signed parent form is not received, a student is not qualified for exemption and will not be approved. Parent permission can be completed in one of the following three ways:

Students are expected to maintain their qualification for exempting a final exam through the final exam period.
If at any time a student no longer qualifies, he/she will be notified by their teacher or administrator and may not exempt the final exam(s). The final exam exemption policy includes the following qualifications.
- Five or fewer absences (excused and unexcused) per semester, in the class a student wishes to exempt the final exam
- OSS counts toward absences

Note: The cafeteria will have lunch available for students after the last exam period on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Buses will depart at 12:45pm.
Late Check-in Guidelines - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday:
The first exam periods on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (December 19-21) are also lunch periods. During lunch periods, students who have lunch will remain in the cafeteria and will use the time to study for final exams.
Your student may arrive late rather than attend during his/her lunch period.
If your student is arriving late on one of the half-day final exam days, he/she must arrive by 10:35 am. Students arriving late will remain in the cafeteria until it is time to move to the 10:40 am exam. Students riding in car pool must enter through the cafeteria doors on the north side of the building (facing Kings Ridge). Student drivers must enter through the cafeteria doors. Do not drop your student off at the front doors as they will be directed to the cafeteria side entrance. Students cannot be in the academic halls during testing.
Missed Exams:
Students are expected to be present and on time on all testing days. If a student must miss a final exam due to illness, the parent/guardian must call the Attendance Office on the day of the absence in order for the student to take his/her exam on the make-up days. If the Attendance Office is not alerted, the absence will be considered unexcused.
All other missed exams must receive prior approval by the student's grade-level administrator. To obtain approval the parent/guardian should email the administrator by Friday, December 15. Please include the date(s) to be missed, the subject name(s), the teacher name(s), and reason for the missed exam.
Make up exams will take place in the Student Center and will occur on:
- Thursday, January 4, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
- Friday, January 5, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
Checking Students Out:
Students will not be allowed to check out while exams are in progress. Classrooms cannot be disturbed, and students will not be allowed in the academic halls. For a student to check out prior to the end of the day, please have your student bring a note to the Attendance Office at the beginning of the school day. Due to the volume, the Attendance Office cannot accept emails or phone calls at check-out time.

Canned Food Drive

The Winter Solstice Tree is Back
Collecting gifts until Friday, December 8
Again this year Cambridge is teaming up with Fulton County to give gift cards to teenagers who are in foster care. Often teens are the "forgotten ones" on holiday lists as they aren't easy to shop for and aren't the first picked from an angel tree or they receive a leftover gift intended for an eight-year-old.
Last year we raised over $1500 in gift cards by word of mouth through a few classes. This year we are looking to go even bigger.
For those interested in participating (teachers, students, parents): Just stop by Mr. Schuler's room (2801) and pick up a solstice tree from his back wall and return it with your gift card (either in a gift bag or wrapped in a small box) by Friday, December 8th.
