We understand that the school year was extended due to weather; however,

• we are tied to the Washington State Requirement for 180 days of instruction and
• Bellevue's standard policy that prohibits early exams. 

The school year ends Tuesday, June 24. Washington State requires that students attend 180 days of instruction; therefore, we can offer make-up exams ONLY to students whose request meets the Excused Absence Requirement (find details here).

• Students must take their exam during their regular class period. Students may not take their exam with another class that may be scheduled earlier for its final.
• To arrange a make-up exam, students MUST meet the criteria for an Excused Absence.
  • Find our Bellevue Schools Attendance Policy here.
  • It includes a list of the types of absences that may be excused AND describes the policy to PRE-ARRANGE an absence, which allows the student to schedule a make-up exam.
  • Students should download the Request for Excused Absence Form and use it to notify their teacher that they expect to miss the regularly scheduled final.
• For students ill (or other unplanned excused absence) on the day of the final,
  • parents should immediately report the absence to our Attendance Office. 
  • then contact the teacher via email for information about final exams or final projects that must be completed. 
• ALL Make-up Finals must be scheduled with Dion Yahoudy, Principal.
  • Make-Up Exams must be taken during the summer. 
  • For students with excused absences, Make-up Finals are offered before school ends on Friday, June 20, and Monday, June 23.
  • Teachers will grade the exam and post final grades at the end of September.

Until the exam is posted in September, teachers issue the student a letter grade or an “I” (Incomplete) based on their policy and professional judgement.
