Good afternoon Class of 2028 and Class of 2029, Further to the welcome and welcome back emails - if you arrive within the first 30 minutes of an exam, you will still be required to put your backpacks and cellphones in your locker. You will not be allowed in the exam room with these items. You can leave them outside but at your own risk. If you return after the 30-minute cut-off time, you will be considered late and will not be able to write the exam and will receive a zero on that exam. Plan accordingly. We will not make any exceptions.
