PINE RIDGE – SEMESTER TWO EXAM RULES & PROCEDURES
In preparation for exams this semester, all students must read and understand the following exam rules and procedures.
- Exams are from Wednesday, June 19th to Monday, June 24 th, 2024. The exam schedule is available on the school website and in student Google Classrooms.
- Exams begin at 8:30am and run for 1.5 or 2.0 hours. Students are responsible for arriving on time with adequate writing supplies and a charged Chromebook (if it is required for the exam)
- Students arriving late for exams must report to the office BEFORE going to the exam. Students arriving late may be given the remaining scheduled time to write the exam.
- Exam Attendance: Examinations are marked on the school calendar. Students are expected to write scheduled exams during these time periods. The Code of Conduct outlined in the school agenda states that “Students absent from a final examination, or summative task, must prove, to the satisfaction of administration, that the absence was unavoidable or a mark of zero may be assigned.” If a student is absent due to illness on their exam date, the family is responsible for contacting Administration.
- Buses – If buses are cancelled for any reason, exams scheduled for that day will be rescheduled for the following day. All exams will move to the next day in the schedule. (Ex. Exam of June 20 th would move to the 21 st).
- School buses will run on the regular schedule.
- After their exam, students must leave the school property. The only exception to this rule is students who usually take the school bus. These students must either remain in the cafeteria or leave school property.
- Cafeteria Service: There will be NO cafeteria service or food sales during the examination period. Students remaining in the building must bring their own lunch. Students will NOT be able to go in and out of the building during EXAM DAYS.

- From June 19th to June 26th, students are only to be on school property when they have a scheduled exam or have been requested to attend by their classroom teacher.

If such materials are brought to an exam room, students must leave them at the front of the room. Using/possessing unauthorized material or electronic devices (smartphones, wearables, etc.) during an exam may be perceived as cheating.
