Dear BK Students and Families,
In this week’s Just In Time Communication, we will review our schedule and expectations for Final Exam Week, and share some helpful information about how students can be at their best for final exams.
As a reminder, students are expected to take their final exam during the established day and time period for their respective courses. One of the reasons we try to publish and communicate our annual calendar a year in advance is to minimize conflicts with our final exam week. When vacations are scheduled during exam week, it not only creates an unnecessary burden on our faculty, it also compromises exam fidelity and prioritization on academics.
We would ask that parents avoid scheduling vacations or early out of town departures during final exam week. If students are in a situation outside of their control, where they cannot take their final exams during the final exam week, they must communicate with their counselor and teachers at least two weeks in advance to establish alternate plans. If exams cannot be completed during finals week, the only remaining alternative will be to return on January 5th and 6th to take all remaining exams. We will not allow students to take final exams after January 6th.
