Please know that the new schedule for exams was designed after discussions with students to determine what they felt would most benefit their testing performance. This method allows for students to take no more than two exams in one day. It gives the students a weekend midway through to prepare for remaining exams. More time is built in, an additional 20 minutes, for extended test time or review at the teacher's discretion. Ultimately, finishing first semester prior to the Christmas holiday is best for our students. When they return after break they'll be ready to start the second semester fresh, rested, and with the stress of finals behind them.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me at (219)873-1325 or by email mkmark@marquette-hs.org.
Happy Thanksgiving!
