Schedule for Regents Week: January 22-26

/

In order to support students in studying for midterm exams, completing cycle projects, and paneling graduation requirements, we will be implementing the following schedule at the end of January:

Monday, JANUARY 22nd - Thursday, JANUARY 25th:

Middle School:  Middle School students have a regular schedule though midterm exams for each course will be scheduled during regular class time throughout the week.

Grades 9, 10 and 11: 

  • Students will take final exams (in some cases presentations) starting promptly at beginning of 1st period (8:15 am) and concluding at the end of 2nd period (9:55 am).  Teachers on grade level will let students know which final/presentation is occurring on each day.  If a student does not have outstanding work and there are no other presentations, s/he is dismissed for the day when s/he completes the midterm.
  • If a student has missing projects or work in a course, advisors will let students and parents know.  After completing the midterm exam, these students are to report to the assigned classroom for his/her grade level to work with teachers and complete the outstanding work during periods 3 and 4 (9:58 - 11:35 am).  These students will be dismissed for the day after 4th period (11:35 am).

Grade 12:

  • If all Graduation Requirements are completed AND the ELA Regents Exam has been passed, 12th grade students do not need to come in to the building as they have no assigned classes.
  • If a student has an outstanding Graduation Requirement, s/he should report to school at 10 am in room 513 to receive support from teachers to complete these projects.  Students who are ready will be scheduled to panel during the afternoon of this week.
  • If a student has not yet passed the ELA Regents exam (Mark has contacted parents already), s/he must report to room 509 at 9:00 am on Monday, January 22nd to take it.

Calling for All Used Refurbished Cell Phones

/

The Nepal and Malaysia International Youth Media Groups are asking parents, students, and friends to donate the cell phones they no longer use

 No, we don't need them to make phone calls.
 We need hem for their picture taking capabilities!
 Please be sure the phones – as cameras – work.
 It would also be helpful if each phone-camera donated came with a charger.

The Nepal and Malaysia International Youth Media Groups will be sharing these used phones as cameras for the children they work with in Nepal and Malaysia. So please, if you have any old cell phones, smart phones, etc. with picture taking capability, please bring them to Jeffrey (the International Youth Media Advisor/Program Director) in Room 4198.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jeffrey.

The Meaning of the King Holiday --- “We celebrate the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example — the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership….” Coretta Scot King


“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?” --- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   Visit MLK Day Legacy of Service or MLK Day of Service Events in NYC to find volunteer opportunities.
