Exam Schedule
2010 Seniors
May 25th (Tues) - Is a regular class day. Some senior teachers my actually start testing the Friday tests on this day because they need two hours. So that seniors do not have to return after memorial day. However, it is still a regular class day. If you are exempting your test on Friday, you are still expected to be present in class on Tuesday.
May 26 - May 27 (Wed and Thurs) Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7. Since my test will not take an entire hour, you will test on THURSDAY. Please no complaining. The alternative to this is to give you HALF the test on Wednesday and half on Thursday. Please plan to present and watch other presentations on Wednesday. You should plan to present yours on Tuesday if at all possible to make sure you are done. If you intend to exempt, you must present have all projects in and present by Tuesday. Periods 2, 4 and 6 are NORMAL classes. ALL seniors are expected to be in all classes on this day. If you exempt 1, 3, 5, or 7...and you skip 2, 4, and 6, you risk loosing your exemption status and or credit.
May 28 (Friday) Periods 2, 4 and 6 - Amazingly, the Admin has given you an extra two days off this year. So, you have only Friday to take your test. Please make sure you all have your projects turned in by Thursday and have presented your PowerPoint. Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7, you are generally expected to be in these classes as well. If you skip the class just because the exam has passed, your exemption status could be revoked, or if you have too many absences, loosing credit for the year. If a 2 hour exam is needed, some teachers may begin testing on May 25 (Tuesday).

Comments about our Students (letters sent to Mr. Daniels):
Coach Stump,
I don't have a son playing football nor do I even know any players, but I have to tell you how proud I was at the game last Friday. Our team showed such character and heart. I watched # 70 limp on that field when he was obviously hurting. I watched # 12 chomping at the bit when the doctor wouldn't let him go back out (which I am very happy that the doctor held his ground, He could have really been hurt, and I hope he isn't). After the first play, most players would have been discouraged and given up. Not the WB Bruins. They fought even harder. There is something special about these young men. You know it's easier when there is plenty of money and resources. It takes a lot more character to stick it out and do your best when times are hard, and the score is down. That's what our team has. Character.
