Notes:
- Students in AP, DE or Governor School courses are not exempt from Exams and should plan on taking those on the designated days.
- VCTC and Gov. School will run a normal schedule on RHS Exam days unless otherwise notified.
- Exemption criteria does not apply to SOL testing as students are required to take those assessments in order to meet diploma/graduation requirements.
- On Exam days (Dec. 16 & 17), we also use that time for SOL Expedited Retakes.
- If a student is exempt from an Exam, they do not need to attend school.
- If a student is exempt from their morning exam, they should report to school by 10:56 am and sign-in through the front office and then report to 3rd block or 1st lunch.
- If a student is exempt from their afternoon exam (had to take the morning exam) they must have valid note or email (rhsattendance@augusta.k12.va.us) from a parent/guardian (no phone calls) and we will release the students at 12:46 pm prior to the afternoon Exam.
- If a student is exempt but you have no way of getting them to school or picking them up from school you can still send them and/or we can keep them here throughout the day.
*Exam Exemption Notifications - students will be notified by December 13 on exam exemptions in each of their classes. Exam exemptions will also be marked and posted in Infinite Campus through parent/student portal under the attendance tab. When checking portal on Infinite Campus, be sure to check the correct date of the exam (Dec. 16 - 2nd & 4th blocks; Dec. 17 - 1st and 3rd blocks) and the correct block and ignore the other blocks as they could be marked incorrectly due to how we have to enter information. To be considered for an exemption a student must have an "A" average in the class and have missed no more than 5 total days in that particular class. If the student does not have an "A" average and/or has more than 5 total days absent in a particular class they will need to plan on taking an Exam as they must meet both criteria to be exempt.
