N.B. Please see the message below from our exam chair (originally sent April 11th, 2020) regarding exams for 2019-2020:

The NY State Education Department has cancelled Regents Exams for this June [2020]. They also issued guidelines allowing school districts to award Checkpoint B LOTE sequences and requirements for advanced Regents diplomas to Level 3 LOTE students without having them take an exam this year. There is additional guidance allowing school districts to award high school credit to 8th graders without having them take a Checkpoint A exam this year. With these new developments in mind, we have decided not to disseminate checkpoint A and B exams this year as planned. Although we have exams nearly completely done, due to the current Covid-19 situation, they do still need some work. We feel we would be better served to continue working on the exams and issue them next year [2021]. All members of CAWNY in good standing will have their memberships extended free of charge for an additional year. So, if you are a member in good standing, you will still be entitled to the exams when they are issued next year [2021].
