This is a message from Purnell Swett High School Parents and Students This is a message to remind you that Spring EOC and CTE Testing is scheduled for next week beginning Monday May 24th ------ Thursday May 27th. Students currently enrolled in an EOC or CTE class should be present to take their exam. All EOC and CTE courses are listed on the school webpage, Facebook, and I personally emailed all students. Any student failing to take an exam will receive a zero for the exam grade which counts for 25% of their final grade. First and foremost, any student experiencing any COVID19 symptoms should stay home. We will contact you at a later date for testing. School personnel will be outside to take temperatures before students are allowed to enter the school building. Students having a temperature above 99.9 must leave campus. All students must report to the gym to find out what classroom they will test in. Students will not be permitted to walk around the school building for safety purposes. This will be enforced and any student not following directions will be dismissed from school premises immediately. So parents get ready because we will be calling you if your child doesn’t want to follow the rules and procedures. Safety comes first so you need to stress this at home. Drop off for car riders and bus riders begins at 7:30am. However, buses begin pickup at approximately 6:05am give or take a few minutes. Parents with the proper ID are only allowed to pick up students when an entire class is finished testing. Students that drive to school may leave once everyone in their class is finished. There are no exceptions to this procedure. All information can be found on the school webpage, Facebook and student’s email.
