Lacking the weekend to split up exams also makes exams a little tougher if we go through with it.

Cancel the exams. It isn't fair on the student who are taking them or the teachers grading them to have them still happen under these current conditions.

The kids shouldn't have to take it if the surrounding schools arn't. If prestige is that important, that is saddening.

Canceling would be beneficial to not only the AP classes (due to the strict schedule) and the other classes as well. For many classes, students needed tuesday and wednesday for additional instruction as we have yet to cover every topic covered on the exams. Additionally, the language classes were relying on this past week for the speaking portions on the exams and because of the weather, this needed time to complete an entire conversation exam has been eliminated. Taking all eight exams in one week would not only add to the current stress of the students, but also eliminate instructional time needed to complete the entire course load.

AP classes are on a strict schedule and this would preserve valuable class/instructional time.

Scheduling all 8 exams for next week would not be fair for the students of Maggie Walker. First, students have missed important review time due to the recent closings along with new material, which is going to be on exams. Also, language classes will now be forced to drop or reschedule the speaking portions of their exams, which were supposed to be taken this past week. This rescheduling would also take away important AP class time for students. These classes are on a very strict schedule and this reschudling would put AP teachers under a lot of stress due to their rush to recover from the missed instructional time. Further, many students were not expecting the school to be closed for most of this week and have left study materials at school in their lockers. This will become an even bigger issue if school is also closed on Friday. Many clubs and extracurricular activities like Robotics, Model UN, Basketball, swimming, along with others are going to be harshly affected by this exam rescheduling. Canceling exams would put an unfair burden on not only students, but also faculty to recover from the sudden rescheduling. Other nearby counties have already made the decision to cancel exams altogether, and Maggie Walker should follow suit in the best interest of both the student body and the faculty.

you people cannot be serious. Let me ask you this: How much time do you waste each day? Legit. How much time are you on facebook, watching cat videos, playing video games, stalling by any means? Missing essential review time? What have you been doing the past week off for a meager 2 inches of snow? Lack of instruction time for APs? Your AP teachers could assign more reading to do at home, and you could be more productive. Not all learning is supposed to come from teachers talking at you.
