It's time for finals and my kid has mono!

<p>Brap, brap, brap. This is a moment for helicopter parenting, IMHO. Contact the school tomorrow and let them know she has mono. Not sure what the hierarchy is at your school, but at ours I would talk to the assistant principal who deals with a lot of this kind of stuff. Let him know that your D needs to delay taking her finals due to this, and ask if this is possible for her to wait a few weeks to take them. Tell him/her you will contact each teacher individually, but wanted to let him/her know about your daughter’s illness. It may be possible for the high school office to administer them for her during the summer even if the teachers are not around.</p>

<p>Yes, it is a headache to catch up on the exams in the summer for everyone, but I would ask. Even if she only gets a couple deferred for a few weeks, it could make a big difference.</p>

<p>We are not from New York (I assume you are, given the Regents exams). Does she have any option to take those exams later? Obviously that is disruptive to her studying and an extra burden at a later date, but it is something to consider to delay one or more of them.</p>
