Final Exam Schedules

CHCCS

 

Students may be exempt from final exams in courses that do not have a state-required or End-of-Course (EOC) assessment - provided they meet the criteria outlined below before the start of the exam window:

Final Exam Exemption Criteria:

  • Attendance Requirement: Students must have no more than 6 total absences (excused or unexcused) for the semester.
  • Exceptions: Absences due to school-sponsored field trips, school-approved activities, and religious holidays do not count toward the absence total.
  • Optional Participation: Students can still opt to take the final exam if they meet the exemption requirements. Exempt students who choose to take the final exam will not have their final grade negatively impacted should the exam grade be lower.

Attendance Expectations During the Testing Window:

All testing days are regular school days and attendance will be recorded as usual. For those students who do not have a final exam, there will be engaging activities planned while other students are taking their finals. Each school will send communication out to the school community about these activities before the first day of testing.

Final Exam Waiver Considerations:

The Secondary Review Committee, composed of all district high school principals, will review submitted documentation. For students with significant, documented medical concerns and/or other extenuating circumstances the family would like the committee to consider, please complete the Final Exam Waiver Request form.

  • The Final Exam Waiver Request Form is available here.
  • The form and supporting documents must be submitted in printed form to the student’s school by May 29, 2026 Semester 2
  • Families will be notified of decisions by June 4, 2026 for Semester 2

  • Attendance will be closely monitored until June 5, 2026.   If you are anticipating being absent from school past May 29, 2026, it is recommended that a final exam waiver be submitted. 

  • Students Notified of Exemption Status: June 4, 2026 for Semester 2
  • Testing Window for All CHCCS High Schools: Friday June 5 – Thursday June 11, 2026
