The last day of the 2nd Marking Period (MP2) marks the official end of the first half of the school year (Semester 1).

Typical Timing:

• Date Range: Usually falls in late January (around mid-to-late January, right before the start of Quarter 3).

• Exact Date: Varies by school district depending on start dates and snow days. Check your school's official academic calendar or parent/student portal for the exact deadline.

What Happens on the Last Day of MP2:

• Final Deadline for Assignments: All late work, missing assignments, or retakes for Quarter 2 must typically be submitted before or on this day.

• Grades Lock: Teachers finalize gradebooks, and Q2/Semester 1 report cards are processed shortly after.

• Midterm Exams: Many high schools schedule midterm or semester cumulative exams during or immediately leading up to this final week.

After MP2 Ends:

• Semester 2 Begins: Marking Period 3 starts immediately the next school day.

• Report Cards Released: Final Q2 grades are usually published on student/parent portals 1 to 2 weeks after the marking period closes.
