Petition to Split the High School Midterm Exam Schedule Background: • The High School Midterm Exam schedule for 2011 is currently 4 consecutive days: Tuesday, January 18 through Friday, January 21. • Two years ago the Midterm Exams were offered on Wednesday and Thursday before the long Martin Luther King (MLK) weekend and on Tuesday and Wednesday after the long MLK weekend. • The SAT Exam is offered to juniors January 22, the Saturday immediately following the current exam period. We, the undersigned, believe it is in the best interest of the students to divide midterm exams around the MLK weekend. To do so will alleviate unnecessary stress and help student performance. We ask that the Board of Education, the Administration, and the High School Headmasters reexamine the calendar and change the dates of the Midterm Exams to Wednesday and Thursday before the long weekend and Tuesday and Wednesday after the long weekend.

The pressure of four consecutive days is taking a toll on everyone. I am sending this feedback directly to the board today.

Four days in a row is way too much for anybody. my brain is literal mush by the third day.

the current schedule is brutal. having the sat right after is just setting kids up to fail. please change this.
