<div> <h1><span style="background-color: #f7d31b; color: #000080;"><strong>January Regents &amp; Finals Week—What happens exactly?</strong></span></h1> <p>This week, Assistant Principal of Organization &amp; Testing Coordinator, Dr. Gary Haber, released <a href="https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstuy.entest.org%2FRegents%2520and%2520UFs%2520%2520January%25202020%2520%2520Schedule%2520Ver_%25201_2.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7CRIngram3%40schools.nyc.gov%7Ceb3e12a7afd84f7fe2a108d7849ca869%7C18492cb7ef45456185710c42e5f7ac07%7C0%7C0%7C637123680679475583&amp;sdata=L1%2FslAa0plCBpNpicpLPlyRE2tD%2BqkHGBJ9wNOL4UIc%3D&amp;reserved=0">the schedule for January Regents &amp; Uniform Finals week</a>. It will take place between January 18-26, 2020.</p> <p>The final day of classes for the Fall Term is on January 17, 2020.</p> <p>January 27<sup>th</sup> is a Student non-attendance day, called “Regents Rating Day”, where no student will be in attendance.</p> <p>The Spring Term begins on January 28<sup>th</sup>.</p> <p>During the days of January 18-26<sup>th</sup>, students <em>only</em> attend school on the days and times when they are scheduled for either a regents exam and/or uniform final exam. There is no class at any other time and they do not come to school otherwise.</p> <p>The teachers of the classes administering uniform finals inform students about their final exams. They are also listed on the schedule.</p> <p>The Program Office emails invitations to students at their stuy.edu email addresses if they are scheduled to take a regents exam. Regents are administered in January to students who either failed a regents in the past and need to retake it; or students wishing to retake a regents to improve their score when they did not achieve “mastery” (above 84) and have spoken to their School Counselor to request this arrangement; or where students need to make up a regents for some other reason. Under all normal circumstances, regents exams are taken at the conclusion of a course, in June. The conclusion of the course is after both the Fall and Spring terms are completed, and in the case of science classes that culminate in a regents exam, it would include a passing grade in both Fall and Spring terms and concluding the number of required labs by NY State to take the regents exam.</p> </div>
