During the “Regents and Final Exam Week” this month (January 21st through 24th), students only attend school if they are taking a Regents exam or a uniform department final exam.
Invitations have been sent to students who are scheduled for Regents exams at their stuy.edu email accounts. This Tuesday, January 14th, students will receive in homeroom, a copy notices for their uniform department finals and Regents invitations.
A Uniform Department Final Exam is a final exam in which all students taking that class are sitting for the same Final Exam. They are scheduled during the Regents week and posted on the calendar viewable on the school website under “Academics”. Click this link to view. (This is an UPDATED schedule – a uniform department final in Pre-calculus has been added). If you do not see a uniform department final exam listed on the schedule; it does not automatically mean that there is NO final exam in the class the student is taking; it may just mean that a final exam is being administered in class prior to the week of January 20th.
An In-Class Final Exam is a final exam that is administered in the student’s regularly scheduled class during the final weeks leading up to the conclusion of the 3rd marking period (January 17th). On seldom cases, there may be more than one part to an in-class final exam. Many in-class final exams occur the week before ‘Regents week’, in that final week of classes, however, they must still adhere to the Testing Calendar where department administer tests on their assigned days of the week. It should be a one-period exam (unless there are multiple dates as approved by the department Assistant Principal), and it is composed by the teacher of that class.
