Because of the high number of students experiencing the flu or flu-like symptoms, Hartselle HS has decided, for the FALL semester only, to revise our exemption policy in the following way:
- Students who receive all A's and have no discipline referrals: 2 exams may be exempted in December.
- Students who receive all A's and B's and have no discipline referrals: 1 exam may be exempted in December.
This will still give students incentive to do well in their classes, but will allow them the experience of taking some comprehensive exams. Attendance will not be a factor this fall in determining exemptions. Should we need to revise the spring exemption policy because of extensive sickness, we will do so at that time.
Just a reminder.....If your student is sick, please keep them at home as long as they are experiencing fever. Doctors recommend staying away from others until 24 hours of fever-free health.

Exam Exemption Policy:
Students with all A's that have five or less absences (excused or unexcused) and no discipline referrals to the office that result in detention, ISS, or suspension, may exempt two exams.
Students having all A's and B's and three or less absences (excused or unexcused) and no discipline referrals to the office that result in detention, ISS, or suspension, may exempt one exam.
Students having A's, B's and one C that have two or less absences (excused or unexcused) and no discipline referrals to the office that result in detention, ISS, or suspension, may exempt one exam.
Sophomores who pass all five parts of the graduation exam in March of the sophomore year will receive one additional exam exemption.
* Students may not exempt an exam from a class that they have missed more than five days (excused or unexcused).
* School activity absences do not adversely impact exemptions.
* No student may exempt an AP exam.
* No student can exempt the same exam first and second semester.
