SEMESTER EXAMS (see also EXAMS, p. 40)
Semester exams are given the final four days of each semester. Families should ensure students are in school on those days. Semester examinations will not be given early for students who will not be at school on the days scheduled for examinations. In special emergency situations, parents/guardians should arrange with their student’s assigned counselor for special examination times. Students with unfulfilled financial obligations will be allowed to take semester exams, however, students will not receive semester credit until those obligations are met. Students will receive an "I" grade on their report cards until the examinations have been completed. Incomplete grades must be made up within TWO WEEKS of the end of the grading period.
SIGNS
Prior to posting, all items to post must receive approval from the Assistant Principal of Young Men or Young Women or Vice Principal. Students and student organizations should post materials primarily on the hallway bulletin boards throughout the building. Students may also post materials in halls and classrooms. Only blue painters tape may be used to hang signs.
SNOW DAYS
Padua Franciscan High School’s decision to close is not in conjunction with other school districts. Padua families will be notified by SchoolMessenger announcing a calamity day. Additionally, Padua will post closures on local radio and television stations. Because our students reside in numerous municipalities, Padua may be closed in cases when Parma schools are in session. Watch or listen for “Padua Franciscan High School” on local radio and TV.
SPORTSMANSHIP
At rallies, assemblies, and other school sponsored events, students, parents and other spectators are to conduct themselves in a courteous manner and are to follow the instructions of the directors.
