IMPORTANT END OF SEMESTER INFORMATION

Maine East Families:

The last day of classes for 1st semester will be on Friday, December 17th, 2021. During the past years, this last week has been dedicated to final exams and more recently to “bridge week”. Moving forward, we will not have a schedule for final exams during the last week of the semester nor will there be a bridge week exclusively devoted to helping students catch-up or make-up work.

The week of December 13 - 17 will follow a regular block schedule. All students are expected to attend all of their classes during the week. Teachers will plan activities or assessments that best meet the needs of the class. This may include presentations, projects, unit assessments, cumulative assessments, or a typical lesson.

Maine East invitees are: Fernanda Barreto (Future Music Educator), Daniel Cho (All-State Chorus) and Natalie Dababneh (Honors Chorus). All of these students, along with their directors, will travel to Peoria to attend the IMEC Conference from January 26-29, 2022.
