4. Lateness
If you are less than 15 minutes late, please report directly to the exam. If you are more than 15 minutes late, please report to the main office.

6. Upon completion of your exam/culminating activity
Once students have completed their exam/culminating activity, they are expected to exit the building or wait quietly in the cafeteria until they depart. Students are not permitted to be in the halls as other exams/culminating activities may still be in progress.

In the event of bus cancellation because of storm conditions, examinations for that day only will be re-scheduled. All other examinations will be written asscheduled. If an exam has to be rescheduled due to inclement weather, MDHS
will communicate the new date and time for the exam as soon as possible.
When the decision about school transportation and school closures is made, the
board does so as early as possible, and no later than 6:00 a.m. The YRDSB will do
their best to notify families in advance when they may be considering closing
school and Board offices. Transportation cancellations or school closures are
communicated through:
