The timing of the recent winter storm has presented a number of challenges for Fort Zumwalt’s final exam schedule. With Thursday being our fourth inclement weather day in a row, any further delay of finals will impact second semester plans. Because of these unique circumstances:

High school students will have a half-day AMI Day tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 10. Currently, students are scheduled to attend their first semester classes on the A Day schedule Monday. Second semester will begin Tuesday, Jan. 14.

FINAL EXAMS WILL BE OPTIONAL. Students will not be required to take finals. There will be an opportunity for students who wish to improve their current semester grade to take one or more final exams during a make-up session arranged by their school. For students who elect this option, any final exam score will only be added to the gradebook if it improves their semester grade.

Each school will share arrangements for students needing to take finals in dual credit courses; End-of-Course (EOC) exams or Industry Recognized Credentials (IRC) exams. While all students will be held harmless for school final exams, the requirements for dual credit classes or IRCs are determined by their issuing institution. Please contact your student’s counselor if you have questions.

Additional information about final exam schedules sent by email.
