Dear Parents/Caregivers,
In recent weeks, I have been working with the Academic Board to improve our semester exam schedule. The current semester 1 exam schedule consisted of year-long courses holding their final exams in December and semester-long courses having final assessments in January.
As a result of discussions with the Academic Board, the team decided to move semester 1 exams that had been scheduled in December to January. As a result, all semester 1 exams will occur the week of January 13-17. Please refer to the schedule below.
This revised schedule will maximize teaching time in December and provide increased opportunity for exam preparation in January. It will expand exams over the course of four days instead of three and offers students the flexibility of using the time in between exams to review independently, study with a group, and/or arrange to meet with a teacher.
Students need only be present at school for their exam, so they may arrive late and/or leave early should they only have one exam on a given exam day.
Please note: this revised schedule impacts the week of December 16-20 in that December 20, which was originally listed as a make-up exam day, will now be a full day of classes. Township buses and the Prep bus have been notified of this change and will provide normal bus service on December 20.
January Exam Schedule
- January 13: Codes 1 and 2
- January 14: Codes 3 and 4
- January 15: Codes 5 and 6
- January 16: Codes 7 and 8
- January 17: Make Up Exam Day/Grading Day
Looking ahead, undergraduate exams for semester 2 will be from May 26-29. (Senior exam dates remain the same for semester 2.)
May Exam Schedule
- May 25: Memorial Day (No School)
- May 26: Codes 8 and 7
- May 27: Codes 6 and 5
- May 28: Codes 4 and 3
- May 29: Codes 2 and 1
We appreciate the support of our MMA community and believe the revised schedule will benefit our students greatly.
Warm regards,
