Because they’ll be so happy that you want to skip out on school days?

Which FCPS high school is this?
Right and how do I send my kid. Finals and AP Exams are such stressors.

If she's between 2 grades, the teacher might give her the lower grade.

You’re now in the part of education where attendance really matters. Sorry.

Last week( sometimes 1.5 weeks) of school for HS is finals . I believe the last day of school is a Wednesday this year. So finals will start the week before and go until Tuesday.

No retakes on final exams (though the 50% rule applies).
It’s why we have half days. Morning for exams, afternoons for grading/posting. Most exams are multiple choice because of the necessary quick turnaround.
