Holds/Fines/Fees/Textbooks & Equipment Students who have a hold, fine, fee, textbook or equipment fee may begin clearing their obligation immediately with their coach/sponsor. Student holds/fines/fees will be distributed during your 3rd period class. Holds/fines/fees may be cleared by turning in the signed form to the Mustang Service Window. Students that have not cleared their holds/fines/fees are ineligible to receive exemptions. Signed forms are due no later than 4:00 PM on Tuesday, May 17.

Where do I go if I exempt a final but need to remain on campus? Students who exempt a final exam but require transportation to or from campus and are therefore on campus during the exempted time period must immediately report to the cafeteria for monitoring. Students who exempt a final exam and have transportation to and from campus must leave campus within 10 minutes of the scheduled exam period in which they exempted. Failure to leave campus within the 10-minute time frame and/or failing to report to the cafeteria for monitoring will result in loss of exemption privileges and possible discipline consequences.

Questions?: Speak to Mrs. King during your lunch or email her at [email protected].
