Hello Schalmont High School,

Included below is additional information regarding the June Final Exams and Regents Exams.

Students are expected to attend the exams they are scheduled to take during the testing period. If you are unsure which exams you are scheduled to take, please speak with your teacher or school counselor for clarification.

Early Regents Exam Administration

Tuesday, June 9 and Wednesday, June 10 are designated for an early administration of four new Regents Exams. There will be no high school classes scheduled on these days. Students only attend if they are scheduled to take the Algebra 2, Chemistry, English, and/or Physics Regents Exams on those days. Please refer to the June Exam Schedule to see all of the exams being administered.

An Exam Schedule is available here.

Last Day of High School Classes

The last day of regular classes at the High School will be on Tuesday, June 16. This is a change from the original date on the school calendar.

Transportation

All regular AM and PM bus routes will be provided on exam days (June 9-10; June 17-24). Additionally, we will provide mid-day buses home leaving at 10:15 a.m. on exams days. These are the late bus routes. Late buses (3:30 p.m.) will run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the testing period.

Breakfast and Lunch

Breakfast will be served in the cafe on exam days. Various lunch items will be served as well from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Bag Room

Personal belongings cannot be brought into the testing locations. Students can secure their belongings in the Student Commons, which will be supervised during the testing sessions.

Staging Area

Upon arrival at the high school, students can deliver their belongings to the Bag Room then report to the cafeteria. Once the testing locations are ready, students will be released from the cafeteria to their designated testing area. Students are not permitted to leave the building or campus and return while waiting for an exam or a ride.

Electronic Devices

Electronic devices, such as cell phones, Apple watches, etc. are not allowed in the testing locations. These devices can be secured in the Bag Room, which will be supervised during the testing sessions.

Testing Conflicts

If a testing conflict occurs, when a student is scheduled to take two tests at the same time, the student should notify their school counselor and teachers. On the day of the test the student should report to Room 103 to complete both exams concurrently. Supervised breaks will be provided as needed.

BOCES CTE

All BOCES CTE programs will be held during exam week at their regular times. The District will provide transportation to both BOCES CTE campuses. Students should attend their CTE programs, but any scheduled exam should take priority.

If you have any questions regarding January Exam week, please do not hesitate to contact me or your school counselor.

Thank you,
Matthew Heckman
Principal
