IB EXAMS
IB Exams are the culminating assessment component for most IB Diploma Courses. Exams generally take place during the first three weeks of May and are administered at Skyline High School. Exam dates are set by the IBO and are NOT flexible except in the case of civil unrest or natural disaster. Each 'exam' is often comprised of multiple 'exam papers' given over the course of 1-3 days.
IB EXAM CALENDAR
The 2018 IB Exam dates, times and locations can be found here. Times will not be changed to accommodate non-IB conflicts per IBO policy. Please be sure to arrive in time to be in the examination room prior to the time listed so we can stay on time. Late arrivals will be allowed to take exams but no additional time will be granted.
IB EXAM ATTENDANCE POLICY
In an effort to best support students during the AP/IB exam window, SHS recognizes:
Exams and Attendance:
- a student's need for additional rest and study time during exams,
- teachers' need to know with some reliability who will be attending school, and
- teachers' efforts to run meaningful review sessions leading up to the exam.
Exams and Attendance:
- SHS students taking AP/IB exams will be excused from classes the day of any AP/IB exam. These absences are coded "testing" and will not count against a student as they are a type of school-related excused absence similar to a field trip. Students who wish to attend their regularly scheduled classes before or after an exam are encouraged to do so, but please contact Jeanne Hartman at 425-837-7779 for attendance record keeping.
- Students missing class on exam days are expected to make up any work missed within the same number of days they were absent OR they must converse with their teacher in advance to make some other arrangement.
- Students needing more time off must be excused from classes by their parents (please contact Attendance at 425-837-7779); we respectfully request that students let their teachers know when they will be gone so they can plan accordingly.
