Grove Parents & Stakeholders,
Only two weeks left for your student(s) at E.W. Grove School! We have enjoyed having the opportunity to educate your student(s) this school year. We certainly hope that the students have had a rewarding experience and are ready to proceed with the remainder of their high school journey! Here are the important dates to keep in mind as we close out the 2023-2024 school year:
EOC Testing
We have already completed the TN Ready EOC tests in English, Biology, Algebra, and Geometry. Just a reminder that these scores do count as a portion of the student's final grade for these courses.
Final Exams
Students will take Final Exams on Monday, May 20th in their 3rd and 4th block classes. Final exams will be taken on Tuesday, May 21st in their 1st and 2nd block classes.
Classroom teachers will tell students whether or not they are exempt from the exam
in each class.
Final Exam Exemption Policy
Eligibility Criteria for Exemptions
The student will receive exam exemption if s/he maintains a(n):
A average and no more than three attendance events (unexcused absences, tardies, early check-outs, etc.)
B average and no more than two attendance events (unexcused absences, tardies, early check-outs, etc.)
Absences are counted up to the day the exam is administered. Absences are on a class by class basis. An exemption from a final exam is not granted if during the semester the student is sent to ISS, alternative school or receives a suspension. Any student who is currently failing a class at the time of exams will not be exempt from the exam. School-related absences (fieldtrip, 4-H, college visit, athletic) do NOT count for the purposes of this policy.
Exemptions are for end of semester classroom final exams only.
Special Circumstances
· Students who register after the fifth day of a semester are not eligible for final exam exemptions.
· Any student who qualifies for an exemption has the option to take the final exam. However, the grade received on the exam will be computed in the final semester average.
· A student enrolled in dual-enrollment or dual-credit courses will be required to take the final exam per policy of the credit-issuing school.
Summer School
Summer School will be held at Henry County High School from May 28th - June 21st. Any Grove students who have failed a graduation requirement this school year need to attend. I have attached a flyer about Summer School and how to register.
HCHS Graduation Day
Friday, May 17th is Graduation Day for the HCHS Class of 2024. Congratulations to our graduates!
Let us know if you have questions. Thank you for your support!
