Winter break set for Dec. 21, after semester exams

Claire Meyer

Students taking the semester exams will be released from school Dec. 21 at 12:30.

Winter break begins on Friday, Dec. 21 after the 12:30 dismissal. It will continue through Jan. 7.

Semester exams will take place Wednesday through Friday of next week. Students with perfect attendance and grades above 70 will be exempt from final exams. Alternatively, students with three or fewer excused absences will also be exempt from finals if their grades are above 80. The eligibility is computed by class, so some students may not have to attend an entire day of school.
