US History- Late Testing


KEYSTONE EXAMS — May 12-19

Mars Area High School will be implementing a 2-hour delay bell schedule during the Spring Keystone Exams for the 2025 school year.  All 9th graders and any other student currently enrolled in English 9, Advanced English 9, Principles of Biology, Biology, or Algebra 1 will need to test in person according to the schedule below.  The school counselor will notify any other student needing to retake the exams.

Under this schedule, buses will operate at their regular times. Students taking a Keystone or a morning AP exam will be required to report to school at the normal start time. Students not involved in testing on these dates will follow a 2-hour delay bell schedule, arriving at school between 9:15 and 9:30 a.m. via personal transportation (student drivers or parent drop-off).

For students unable to arrange late transportation, district-provided buses will be available at the regular time. These students will be accommodated in a supervised study hall until the first period begins at 9:47 a.m.

  • There are 4 minutes between lunches and all classes

ALL STUDENTS:

  • It is expected that all students will attend their regularly scheduled classes all day and up to the last day of the semester/school year
  • Final Exams do not mean you are done for the year. Instruction will occur on the last day of the semester. Teachers will hold students accountable for this instruction

EARLY RELEASED STUDENTS

  • You may need to stay longer into the day than you typically do. Please read the schedule and adjust your work schedules accordingly.  You will not be released until the end of the period of your scheduled release

VO-TECH STUDENTS

  • Day #3 is the last day of school for BCAVTS, so there is no conflict with period 6 on Day #4.

JROTC STUDENTS:

  • No JROTC on Day 4. On Day 3, JROTC will be optional if you need to prepare for the period 3 exam.
