Dear Students and Parents,

Exams at Jordan High School will start with Algebra 1 on Friday, May 25th and Tuesday, May 29th.  All other final exams will start Wednesday, May 30th, with two exams a day. Graduation is Thursday, June 7th, 2012.

EOC Review Sessions!!

During the Month of May, EOC review sessions will be held each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday leading up to the start of exams.  Sessions will be after school and bus transportation will be provided for students who choose to stay for review!!  We encourage students to take advantage of this great opportunity to prepare for EOCs!

Please be aware of the guidelines for final exams and prepare accordingly:

  • Students must be present at the beginning of each exam period to take the exam. Students must be present for the entire exam period to receive credit for the exam. Please do not make appointments for exam days. We will not call into classrooms during exams for any reason.

  • Students will not be allowed to have cell phones on during the exam period. Students who are taking end-of-course tests will be given instructions about the use of electronic devices in an EOC testing situation.

  • Please plan to be present on the exam days to avoid having to make-up any exams.

  • In all courses, the final exam will count 25% of the student’s final grade.

  • All EOC courses (Algebra I, Biology I, & English I) require a retest when students score a Level II or they opt in when they score a Level I. A re-test opt in letter is necessary for students to re-test when they score a Level I.

  • High school students may be exempt from their non-EOC/VOCATS final exams if they meet one of the following conditions:

  • Have an “A” average and no more than three absences.
  • Have a “B” average and no more than two absences.

Any absences (lawful or unlawful) count toward the limit for exam exemption except school sponsored field trips, school approved activities and religious holidays.

  • Students who are exempt from an exam may elect to take the exam. The grade will only count if it improves the student’s overall grade.

  • Your help is needed! We are in need of proctors from May 30th—June 6th. Please contact Kim Annas at Kim.Annas@dpsnc.net if you are able to volunteer. Your help is greatly appreciated!!
