Dear Parent/Guardian:
As the school year rapidly draws to an end I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being an integral part of your childs
success at William Floyd Middle School and to provide you with specific information related to the final exam schedule. This year all
students will be taking final/Regents exams in all core subject areas. These tests are designed to insure that students have a
comprehensive understanding of all concepts presented this year and to allow students to note the strengths of their yearly academic
performance, as well as areas in which they need to continue studying over the summer break. During the testing period, no student is
permitted to bring a backpack to school. All lockers must be emptied out by 2:23 p.m. on June 14th.
For 8th graders only: Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I are noted on the attached
schedule. All students who are taking Regents exams will not be permitted to bring cell phones or any
other type of electronic device into the school on the days they are taking a Regents exam (June 15 and 16,
2016).
This is in compliance with the State Education Departments regulations for Regents administration which states
that students may not use any communication device while taking a state exam.
All students will go through a check point at the front doors before the exam.
If a student is found to be in possession of a cell phone or any electronic device, it will be confiscated and
will only be returned directly to the individuals parent by an administrator. Students will be permitted to
use the student phones in the grade level offices if there should be a need. We thank you in advance for your
strict adherence to this very important Regents examination procedure.
It is important to note that if a student misses a final or Regents exam, it will be averaged in as a 0. Students will be able to take
make-up final exams if extenuating circumstances exist by calling the grade level office to set-up a mutually agreed upon time.
Regents exams cannot be made up but can be retaken in August.
The schedule for the administration of these exams as well as a bus schedule is listed on the reverse side of this letter. Please be
advised that breakfast will be served June 15-23rd. Lunch will not be served on any of these days, so be sure your child has eaten
before arriving to school.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 874-5500. Have a wonderful, restful summer.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Schick
