We have revised our final academic week in the Upper School. In the past we have scheduled two and a half days of final exams with each department getting an allotted time slot. This year instead we will rely on our usual block system with each class period being allotted a three-hour time period to use according to the teacher's discretion. In some cases, teachers will give a traditional final exam, others may give in-class essays, still others might have students doing final projects or presentations. Even field trips will be possible. Every teacher is expected to use at least 90 minutes of the three-hour window. As in the past, if a student does not have a scheduled block, they do not need to be in school. Freshmen do not have to come for their study hall block but certainly may do so if they wish to study at school.

• Classes will meet in their regular classroom spaces unless otherwise specified by the teacher.
• Seniors will be engaged in Launch Week activities during this week. That schedule has been distributed to seniors.
• Students in Lower and Middle School will have regularly scheduled classes. 
• Buses will run as usual.
• Students who receive extended time will have that accommodation built into the time frame. In other words a teacher may give a two-hour exam with the extra hour available for those students who get time-and-a-half for testing.
• Upper School Students doing portfolio reviews that week will be scheduled in consultation with their arts teacher.
