Please join me in wishing all the best to Teresa McDowell who will retire on December 20 from Baylor, and in welcoming Mrs. Sam Bankston who will replace her as the Middle School administrative assistant.   Sam previously worked part-time at Baylor as the testing coordinator in upper school, and she assisted with the ERB/CTP testing last spring in the middle school and has been training with Teresa since early November.

Upper School Exam Information
The upper school is returning to the practice of holding first semester exams in December (the middle school is not doing so this year).  With the exceptions of art classes, PE, and Wellness, all upper school classes (regular, honors, and APs) will have an exam that will be cumulative for the semester.

After school activities will continue at the discretion of the leader/coach; however, in order to allow students both to prepare for exams and to get some rest, all after school roles will end at 6 p.m. and there will be no morning practices unless the coaches have cleared it with the Dean's office. 

Check your students' schedule in myBaylor if you are interested in knowing which subjects they will be testing for on the following days.
