The waiver provision was written into the policy for the sake of students who had something beyond their control happen to prevent them from being in attendance (e.g. a severe illness or death in the family). Vacations and appointments are scheduled activities and are within the control of the family. Absences on days such as “senior skip day” or the Royals home opener will not be waived. There are no circumstances under which an UNEXCUSED absence will be waived. All requests for an attendance waiver MUST be in writing. We request that parents and students plan ahead and begin collecting documentation and turn in waiver paperwork to the SME Office as soon as possible. All Waiver applications are due in the SME Office by Monday, May 10, at 4:00 p.m. Submit your attendance waiver and any additional documentation to the SME Office. All materials must be received in the SME office by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, May 10. If materials are received after this date, the grade card will reflect an “N” for No Credit.

Important Information Regarding Finals Seniors and students enrolled in AP and IB classes may be exempt from taking some or all of their final exams. The following information was given to students by teachers and via the morning announcements.
Senior Final Exam Exemption (seniors only) A student can elect this option for a maximum of three classes. A student must have earned a 90% or grade of “A” in the class. A student cannot have any in-school or out-of-school suspensions. A student cannot have any unexcused absences in any class. The exemption option is not available for College Now classes if the student is taking the class for College Now credit. This option is only available for the second semester.
Advanced Placement and IB Final Exam Exemption (any student taking an AP/IB course)
Students can exempt out of each class final for which they take the formal AP/IB test. Proof of AP/IB registration is required. Students must meet all criteria for the senior exam exemption regarding grades, discipline and attendance. The exemption option is not available for College Now or Baker classes if the student is taking the class for dual credit. A student who exempts the final in a first semester AP course but does not take the AP exam in the spring must either take the course final in the spring (the final grade will be adjusted based on the score attained on the final) or have his/her grade in the course changed to reflect the equivalent to earning 0% on the final Seniors may use both the senior exemption policy and the AP/IB exemption policy

Annual Sports Physical Night Mark your calendar for our annual sports physical night. The date is Tuesday, May 11, 2010 beginning at 6:00pm. In order to alleviate the long lines and lengthy wait times, we have made some changes to the process. One of those changes is assigning times by alphabet instead of grade. Physical exams are provided by physicians at a charge of $10.00 for a basic physical without ECG. The expense for an ECG will be covered by the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation, although a minimum donation of $15.00 to the Foundation would be appreciated. This is a tax deductible donation. This physical can be used for any fall, winter, or spring sport. Please note that if you had an ECG last year you do not need another one.
Summer Camps There are many camps available over the summer, including basketball, football, baseball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, and bowling. Registration forms are available on the individual sport’s website or in the office. If you have any questions, please contact the coach or the AD Secretary at 993-6602.
