Semester Finals
To assist you in planning for student arrival and departure during finals week, we want to share some important information.
Finals are Monday-Thursday, December 13-16.
Students with a study hall period will be permitted to arrive late/leave early. We will operate on the understanding that they will arrive late if the study hall is the start of their day or leave early if the study hall is the second period of their day. If you wish for your child to remain at school for the study hall period, please contact the main office.
Students should direct questions about semester finals to their teachers.
We will not have cafeteria service so students should plan to bring a snack for their break/study time between finals.

Testing and Absence – Semester Final Exams
Students must be present during all scheduled finals. The only excused absence is one due to extreme illness. A doctor’s note may be required for verification. If a student is ill and needs to reschedule an exam, they must contact Vice Principal Abby Teeters, abteeter@cdeducation.
Please examine our finals schedule closely and plan vacations accordingly. Inform family members, club coaches, employers, parish leaders working on service trips, retreats, etc. that students are not available until exams are over. Please do not schedule doctor’s appointments, elective surgery, etc. during this time.
