SEMESTER EXAM INFORMATION AND SCHEDULE
Semester exams are scheduled for December 14th through December 17th. All students in grades 6th - 12th are required to take semester exams. Included in this communication, you will find the information needed to successfully prepare your student for semester exams.

The purpose of semester exams is to evaluate that students have retained the information they have learned throughout the semester. There is a direct correlation between showing proficiency on a cumulative exam and long-term retention of material, as well as a positive impact on overall school achievement. In addition, semester exams provide students with accountability for the outcome of their learning. Semester exams count as 20% of the final semester grade.

As a reminder, Wednesday, December 15th, Thursday, December 16th, and Friday, December 17th are Early Dismissal Days in which students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm. Upper School students must leave campus at dismissal on these days UNLESS they have sports practice or have arrangements for tutoring with a faculty member.

If you have any questions regarding semester exams, kindly email Mrs. Stein at sstein@gladesdayschool.com.
