Teacher Made Exam or Project - 10% weight and the final grade can NOT lower their overall grade.
Teacher made exams/projects can be exempt ONLY if the student has an A/B
(consistent with last semester as voted upon by staff)
While the test dates are within the calendar at the end of this blog, here is some additional pieces of information students and families must know.
AP students on the day of their AP exam, can learn asynchronously for the remaining classes. Some teachers may ask them to come for further test preparation in other areas. Please help us make the best decision for your student.
NCVPS, AP, IB, and APEX Courses—AP, IB, and APEX students will NOT take the GCS Final Exams. If a NCVPS student is required that take a final exam by their NCVPS teacher, the student does not have to take the GCS Final Exam.
GCS Final Exams MUST be taken on campus. Remote students are required to report to campus on these days at 9:30.
For EOC/State exams, students will report to school at the start of the day (9:15) on the days they have state exams.
If you are still unsure, please reach out to your student’s teacher immediately.

Friday, May 28th.
Underclassmen Grades are due by the end of the day Friday, June 4th.

GCS Final Exams can NOT be exempt – 10% weight but the final grade can NOT lower their overall grade(50 if they do not take it, 60 is applied if they take it and have a lower grade.)
Teacher Made Exam or Project – 10% weight and the final grade can NOT lower their overall grade
Teacher made exams/projects
can be exempt ONLY if the student has an A/B.
The easiest way to exempt is
to enter the exam grades and just hit exempt.
Grade changes can be submitted after spreadsheets have been turned in. I have attached the grade change form that has to be filled out for all grade changes. You will make the change in your gradebook but you have to give me the form to let me know what you have changed in order for me to store the grade in their historical marks.
You will need to print out and give to me only the Score Sheet which is your spreadsheet with assignments, Qtr 3 & 4, Exam & Final (Follow instructions)
Don’t print out until all grades are complete. You can slide
it under my door which is located across from the dance room, C106.
Report cards will be mailed to students June 15th.
