The Week Of April 12   

With spring upon us we are hearing complaints from our neighbors about the amount of litter on their lawns. Please be good neighbors and bring your garbage back into the school and throw it away.

Also, when parking on the streets make sure you are not blocking driveways. With the addition of the new parking lots, there should be plenty of designated student parking spots vs. parking on the street.

Thank you for your cooperation in being good neighbors to those leaving by BHS.

Students – PLEASE remember to bring a mask to school.

Put one in your backpack so you always have one on you.

Test Exempt Policy - Per Student Handbook:

Criteria: At the beginning of each semester, all students are expected to take all of their final exams. The final exam

schedule each semester is considered part of the regular school calendar. Final exam days should not be considered

vacation days. Through the course of an individual semester, a student may earn an attendance incentive exemption

from each final exam based on the following criteria:

1. No more than 2 (two) tardies or 2 (two) tardies per block period (per class)
2. No unexcused absences (per class)
3. No more than 3 assignments which are late or not turned in (per class)
4. No instances of academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating)
5. No instances of refusal to participate in teacher requested tutorial sessions
6. A detention or suspension from school for any reason will result in the loss of exemption consideration for all

classes.

7. Students will not receive test exemption from a class they are failing unless they are unable to achieve a passing

grade with the final exam. This determination is made by consulting the instructor prior to the final test.

Beyond the qualification criteria listed above, the following may apply to some/all of your classes:

• An exempt student may elect to take the semester test. In this scenario, results of the exam will be figured into

the final grade only if it improves the final grade. As a school district, we encourage and support parents/guardians to

develop a plan prior to the beginning of each semester that would include taking several final exams.

• Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors teachers may require a final test provided they notify students during the

first week of the semester.

• The BPS test exemption policy does not apply to Dual Credit courses. Exams for Dual Credit courses will

follow the college expectation of a final.

THERE ARE ONLY 30 SPOTS PER SESSION AND THEY WILL FILL UP FAST.
If you HAVE been a member of Sanford POWER before, you do not need to fill out registration
paperwork again; only the program fee of $125.00 is needed to reserve the athlete’s spot. If you have
NOT participated in POWER before, please fill out the registration paperwork and return with program
