Q1 Final Exams
Final exams will continue to be given for every course and students must take their final exam during the structured time provided on the bell schedule. In addition, all final exams will be administered online. All students, including in-person students, have the option to take their final exams at home. In the event an in-person student wishes to take their final exam at home, they do not have to report to Peachtree Ridge for the rest of the day, as they will continue their asynchronous learning at home.
