We have had a busy two weeks since the conclusion of Thanksgiving Break. I am grateful to our students for their hard work and dedication during this busy time, and to our teachers for their efforts to teach all of our students the rich D’Evelyn liberal arts curriculum this semester. It is my hope that all D’Evelyn students have great success on their remaining assignments and exams this semester.
Our 1st Semester Final Exam schedule is below. Last year, we made the decision to spread final exams over three school days rather than two school days. We made this decision collaboratively with D’Evelyn teachers and parents and have received positive feedback from students about this change. Unfortunately, we were unable to follow this schedule for the 2nd semester of the 2018-2019 school year due to the volume of school cancellations during that semester. I am happy that we will follow it next week to conclude this semester. The purpose of the schedule change for final exams was to help students spread the load of preparation and study required for our final exams. Additionally, we have structured in a Study Hall for students between the finals so that they have a break and an opportunity to regroup between their two exams. It is the sincere hope of the D’Evelyn Administration that this adjustment in schedules will support our students’ continued success on Final Exams. Final exams should measure the learning of students over the course of the semester. While I hope that the exams will reflect solid learning that has already occurred this school year, I know that our students will study hard and prepare diligently for success on these exams. While the preparation may be challenging and at times daunting, I am confident that these efforts of our students will support their future success as people, students, and employees in their post-secondary lives. Best of luck to all D’Evelyn students on a successful conclusion to the semester and their final exams. I hope that the upcoming Winter Break is an excellent opportunity for rest and relaxation for our students, teachers, and families. Thank you for your continued support of our great school!
