Update 4-9-2020
Dear Parents/Students and
Roxbury School Community,
The School Building
Closure will continue through April 29th with the school building
reopening on April 30th.
Regents’ exams schedule for June are cancelled.
=
8th and 9th
grade students will be exempt from the Algebra I Regents and Living Environment
Regents.
=
10th grade students
taking Global, Geometry, Earth Science will not have to retake the exams and
are exempt.
=
11th grade students who were supposed to take the ELA, US History, Chemistry, Algebra II Regents’ exam are exempt and can graduate. Additionally, students pursuing their Advanced designation can still qualify for the degree without taking the Algebra II Regents exam. Students must still earn the 3 required credits for LOTE but do not have to take the local checkpoint exam. Accelerated students are also exempt from the Regents exams requirements and can still be accelerated.
=
Students are not
required to take the regents exams (if they are offered) in August 2020, unless
they want too.
=
Lab minute
requirements for science courses are also exempt for course credit.
=
For courses who use
the Regents Exam as their final exam they will need to administer a locally
developed exam to substitute.
=
Students will receive
course credit if their final average is passing according to school regulation.
However, keep in mind that if a student does not pass a course that ends
in a Regents exam and needs to retake the course or do credit recovery, the
student would still be exempt from the Regents Exam and would only be retaking
the course to earn credit.
Just a reminder that
meal delivery will be Monday and Thursday until the end of the closure.
We are just a phone call away to support you and your
child. Please reach out to us.
