Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

Happy June! As we come into the final month of the school year this letter shares more detail of Final/Regent exam schedules, Chromebook collection, and summer school criteria.

Regents Information:

On Wednesday, June 11, normal bussing will occur and there will be no 12-noon bussing home. Only students taking the Geometry exam attend school. Students needing a ride home will be supervised in the cafeteria and may take the 3 p.m. bus home.

From June 17 through June 20, we will be giving Regents exams and Final exams at LHS. There will be normal bus runs, which students can take for transportation into school for a morning and/or afternoon exam. There will be a 12-noon bus that will only take students home who have finished their morning exams. Students who finish their exams between bus runs will wait in our cafeteria for the next bus run or for a ride. Any student who needs to ride into school on the morning bus, and wait in the cafeteria for the afternoon test, may do so. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, but no food will be allowed in testing locations. Students must enter through the main entrance beginning at 7:50 a.m. each morning.

From Monday, June 23 through June 25, normal bussing will occur and there will be no 12-noon bussing home. Students needing a ride home will be supervised in the cafeteria and may take the 3 p.m. bus home.

It’s important to note that students are not allowed to have any personal electronics in their possession during Regents exams or Final exams. The best solution is to leave them home, or in their vehicle. If students bring their electronic device(s) into school, they will be provided with an envelope to store them in, and they will be collected until their exam is submitted. If a student is found to have a personal electronic device in their possession, then we are required by the New York State Education Department to invalidate the exam and no score will be given. The excerpt below is the exact language that will be read to students prior to each exam:

You cannot have any communications device, including a cell phone, with you during this examination or during any breaks (such as a restroom visit). Such devices include, but are not limited to:

• Cell phones
• iPods and MP3 players
• iPads, tablets, and other eReaders
• Personal laptops, notebooks, or any other computing devices
• Cameras or other photographic equipment
• Wearable devices/smart wearables, including smartwatches and health wearables with a display
• Headphones, headsets, or in-ear headphones such as earbuds, and
• Any other device capable of recording audio, photographic or video content, or capable of viewing or playing back such content

If you brought any of these items to the building today, and have not already stored it in your locker or turned it over to me, a test monitor, or school official, you must give it to me now. You may not keep your cell phone or any of these items with you, or near you, including in your pockets, backpack, desk, etc. If you keep a cell phone or any of these items with you, your examination will be invalidated and you will get no score.
