Thursday is a normal school day until the 8th period exam, which will take place during 7th/8th periods. If you have study hall during 8th period, you would be permitted to leave after 6th period if you have turned in a parent note giving you permission to do so. Seniors that normally leave after 7th period, would be permitted to leave after 6th period on Thursday.
One parent note giving a student permission to leave after exams are completed for a day can be used for all exam dates. The parent just needs to list each exam date on the note.
