Academic Calendar

The school year is divided into two semesters. Progress is reported to parents at the six-week and 12-week mark of each semester through the use of progress reports. Parents will receive written comments at the nine-week mark of each semester. Semester report cards will be emailed home after the last exam.

Exams are given at the end of each semester. All students are required to take fall semester exams in full-year courses. In semester courses, seniors may earn exam exemption for the semester by having an average of 93 or higher. Seniors may earn exam exemption for all full-year courses in the spring semester by having a combined average of 93 or higher for the previous reporting periods. Exams will comprise 20 percent of the semester grade.
