Midyear Benchmark Exemption Policy
Midyear benchmarks are required at the end of first semester. These cumulative assessments will count for 10% of a student’s semester average. Students and parents are asked not to schedule vacations and out-of-town trips on mandated assessment days. Any exception to the benchmark assessment schedule must be pre-approved by the principal. Please review the school calendar before scheduling vacation or other trips.
