Final Exams January 25-28
Final Exams will be held January 25 -28th. Bellaire’s exam schedule looks a little different than in years past. Students will personalize their schedules depending on their classes. Students are encouraged to use this Exam Builder Template to create their final exam schedule. Each teacher will post the day and time that their exam will be given on the landing page of their HUB. Final exams for the Core subject areas (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) will either be given during a subject block in the afternoon or by individual period. Non-Core classes will be given during the period block in the morning. 

A master exam schedule can be referenced here. Students can look up any teacher and their class period and locate the time and date of their exam. If any student finds that they have more than three finals on a given day, they are encouraged to reach out to their teachers as soon as possible.
