Tests, quizzes, or other assessments;
Field trips, school pictures, guest speakers, or assemblies;
School-sponsored special events and activities (e.g., prom, back-to-school nights);
Sporting events (unless required by the Virginia High School League)
Auditions or tryouts that cannot be rescheduled; and
Safety drills which occur 1-2 times per year including tornado, earthquake, and lockdown drills.
State, national, and international competitions, exams, or sporting events (e.g., SAT, SOL, AP/IB, VHSL) are not bound by this regulation.
