We have been conducting an in-depth analysis of our Final Exam process in the Middle School. As a result, we will be initiating an alternate exam program for all Grade 6 students this semester. The exam week schedule in December will remain the same (Mon. – Fri. Dec. 14-18, 8:15 am – 10:45 am). However, Grade 6 students will not be taking “paper and pencil” tests in the Gym. Rather, all Grade 6 students will be engaged in an interdisciplinary hands-on exam experience in regular classrooms. Grade 6 students will still be tested on their understanding of the first semester material, however the “exams” will be in classrooms and will be through a more performance based and authentic assessment.
