Final Exemption Policy

FINAL EXEMPTION POLICY
2008-2009

A student may be granted an exemption from taking final examination in any semester if the student:
1. Has a minimum passing grade of 80%.
2. Has no more than three (3) absences excused or unexcused in the semester in which the exemption is requested. For exemption purposes three (3) instances of tardy will equal one absence.
3. Has not been assigned to an alternative program or been suspended from school during the semester.
A teacher must approve the completion of this form in accordance with the above policies.
An eligible student must determine whether or not he or she is satisfied with his or her class rank and grade average before making the request for exemption from a final exam. If the student qualifies for the exemption, it is the student’s option to take the test for the class. If the student elects to take the final examination, the examination grade shall be used to calculate the student’s final grade for the semester only if the examination grade improves the final average.
Students who receive an exemption will not be required to attend that class on the day of the test. Buses will operate on their regular schedule; therefore, students leaving campus early must provide their own transportation. Students will be dismissed early on Thursday, January 15th. Busses will depart campus at 12:35pm.

If more information is needed regarding the exemption for this class, please contact me via e-mail at hao.tran@fwisd.org or by phone at 817-903-0231.

FAILURE TO RETURN THIS SIGNED FORM TO YOUR TEACHER WILL RESULT IN DENIAL OF THE EXEMPTION. (NO FORM = NO EXEMPTION)
