"Clean up"

1.  I HANDED YOU THOSE ESSAYS!!  The geography essay followed the outline I gave you, right down to the choices I picked to outline.  You had at least 2 of the 3 DBQ topics also outlined in the essay pack.  Just like the Global kids, this test was literally handed to you in advance.  I hope you studied those essay packets.

2.  You grades are finalized in Thinkwave.  Remember, any extra credit points you receive from begin eligible for them & attending review won't show up in Thinkwave, they will show up on your report card since they are added directly onto your 4th MP average.

3.  Remember that passing the course is separate from passing the Regents Exam.  It is possible to pass both, fail both, or pass one but not the other.  Failing the course &/or Regents Exam means summer school or a delayed graduation date. 

  • If you failed the course, you need to see your Guidance Counselor ASAP for an application & details.  If you don't know if you failed, check Thinkwave.  Look at your averages for the 4 MPs, add up, & divide by 4.  If you are close to or under 65, see Guidance.  
  • If you pass the course but fail the Regents Exam, you can sign up for a prep class (Regents Review) that usually runs a couple of weeks prior to the exam as well as the August Exam.  You cannot walk in & take it, you MUST register for it with Summer School.  
  • Of course, I hope you worked hard & passed both!  If you did, enjoy your summer off & get ready for your Senior Year!!
