Students who miss an exam but were present the class period before the exam are required to take the exam at lunch the day they return to school (whether or not the class meets) unless they schedule a time to make up the exam with their teacher. Students who miss multiple class periods leading up to an exam will need to communicate with their teacher, understand their teacher’s expectations for getting caught up, and schedule a date to make up the exam with the teacher. Exams may be scheduled and taken early, with the teacher’s approval, if the student knows he or she will be absent on the day of the exam. If a student misses more than one exam when they are absent, he or she will take one exam at lunch a day until all exams are made up, or unless he or she schedules a makeup time with the teacher.
A student who misses class the class period before an exam must still take the exam on the originally scheduled date if he or she is present on the day of the exam. Patterns of absences on exam days may result in academic and/or behavioral consequences. Missing a makeup exam will result in an automatic 10 percent reduction on the exam grade. Students who are absent from a class period in which an exam is given but are present for other class periods on the same day, will be required to take the exam during lunch, study hall, or after school. Failure to do so may result in academic consequences.
