3. Emergency Accommodations for Final Exams: ​ If a student arrives at school on the morning of her exam with a certified doctor’s note requesting new accommodations, her exams for that day will be rescheduled to the allocated Conflict Day (often the last day in the exam block) in order to give the school time to review the note and to apply the new accommodations, if warranted, as is consistent with school practice. Her other exams will continue as scheduled with any accommodations, as determined by the school. All notes from the students’ physicians are to be provided to the VP School Life & Student Wellness. Extenuating Circumstances All students are required to sit their respective final assessments and final exams when scheduled; however, there are exceptional circumstances that may require a student’s evaluation timetable be modified. These situations are considered on a case-by-case basis and requests should be made directly to the VP, School Life & Student Wellness in writing. Students not able to write their final exams for medical reasons at their regularly scheduled time must submit a letter by their attending physician documenting the reason to the VP, School Life & Student Wellness.
