Please note that final exam days are “open campus” days, which means students only need to be present in school for the exams they are taking. All students must be dressed fully in school uniform for exam days.  If they are not, they may not be allowed to take their exams/projects on the scheduled day but will have to do so on the makeup exam days (February 7, 8, 9, and 10th after school)

 

Parents must notify Mrs. Kane by telephone (732-739-0800, ext. 152) if their child(ren) will be absent on an exam day.  Students cannot take exams on days other than exam days.  Parents must provide medical documentation for their child(ren) if they will be absent on an exam day.  Should a question about this arise, parents must communicate with Mrs. Kane via email (kane@sjvhs.org).  Makeup exams will be held on during the week of February 7, 2022. 

 

If you have questions about exemptions, please contact your child’s teacher or your child’s Guidance counselor.
