Sherman High School issued the following announcement on Dec. 9.
Juniors and Seniors may qualify for exemptions from final exams during both semesters of
the school year if the following conditions exist:
● A minimum overall semester average of 80 (per class) and a minimum grade of 80 in the final
grading period
● Student shall have no more than 5 tardies in each class during the semester
● No major infractions resulting in Reset or Choices during the semester
● The student has not been to DAEP, Boot Camp, or JDC for the 2020-2021 school year
● Students must have no outstanding fines, fees, debts for school property or other Sherman
I.S.D. services
● If the student elects to take the final examination, the examination grade shall be used to
calculate the student's final grade for the semester only if the examination grade improves the
final average.
● If a student has an unexcused absence during the exam, the student forfeits the option to take
advantage of exam exemption and will take the exam for credit.
This exemption policy is only good for 2020-2021 school year. Absences are not
counted during the 2020-2021 school year due to COVID
All exempt students must be in attendance for 2A on Wednesday, December 16
and 6B on Thursday, December 17. All students must follow all school rules and
teacher instructions. Any student who fails to attend 2A/6B on December 16/17
will lose ALL exemptions that day and must take the course(s) final exams on the
school’s designated make-up day(s).
NOTE: Dual-credit courses CANNOT be exempted.
