Attention Parents and Students:
Students that are out of school for county approved reasons where the student misses the final exam as scheduled will receive an incomplete for that class. The incomplete may remain in place up to two weeks after which time the grade will be calculated with a zero exam grade. Completion of the make-up exam upon their return will allow the teacher to calculate and finalize the student’s grades. The county make-up work policy for absences will be followed for any other schoolwork. If you have any questions as to whether your student(s) absences meet the before mentioned criteria, please contact school administration at 304-367-2150 x8.
Thank you
