Weekly Update 5/1/26
We are in the last push of the year. Teachers are beginning to review for exams, as they also teach new knowledge and skills. While this time of year can build anxiety in both students and educators, we also have many fun events planned for the end of the year. Below is a list of some of the important field trips and events.

We want to ensure that students are able to participate in our field trips and other events in a safe manner. Many of these events are also seen as a reward for their progress this past year. As such, participation in such events could be jeopardized by behavior, attendance and academics.
NYS Assessments
We will begin the administration of the NYS 3-8 assessments this week. The assessments are taken on students' chromebooks. Please help ensure that your child's Chromebook is fully charged the night prior to each assessment.
8th grade science assessment is May 5th.
Math assessments will take place on May 11th and 12th.
Final Exams
The final exam schedule and bus shuttle schedule will be sent home in the coming weeks. Final exams will only be administered at the scheduled day and time. Final exams cannot be made-up and failure to show up for a final exam will result in a grade of a "zero".
Many students will find that they are exempt from certain exams. The Exam Exemption Parameters are below and we will notify each student of which exam that they need to take in early June.
