SEMESTER EXAMS
All students are scheduled to take Semester Exams on Tuesday, January 17 (English & Science); Wednesday, January 18 (Social Studies & World Languages); and, Thursday, January 19 (Religion & Mathematics). We will follow a special exam schedule on each day with dismissal at 10:45 am. Since the midterm exams account for 20% of the semester grades, please encourage your son/daughter to study and prepare for the exams thoroughly. Often, a good exam grade provides a significant boost to the overall semester grade.
A detailed exam schedule will be posted for students. Absences during the exam days must be restricted to serious medical problems or other family emergencies. All missed exams must be made up on Friday, January 20. Arrangements should be made through the Guidance Office.
In the event of severe weather-related problems during the exam days, there will be adjustments made to the exam schedule. All adjustments would be announced on the front page of the school website. In general, these would be the guidelines for weather-related problems:
If school is canceled - the testing days (and those scheduled tests) would be moved to the next day, moving Thursday's tests to Tuesday, Jan. 24.
If Bishop Canevin has a delay - the scheduled tests for that day will still be administered on that day; testing time will be adjusted.
If your school district has a delay and BC does not - Students arriving late due to their District's delay will take the 2nd scheduled test on that day after their arrival and the missed test on Tuesday, Jan. 24th.
Given all of the potential scenarios, students should make sure that they have ALL study materials for ALL tests at home with them.
Always check the BC website for the most up-to-date information on testing.
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 is the scheduled start of the Second Semester. We will follow the Day 1 schedule. Please remember that you must be current with all financial obligations to the school (tuition and activity fee) in order to receive your child’s report card.
