Regents Scores are now in Eschool

Regents scores are now posted in Eschool.

Some of you did an outrageously good job, and you should be as proud of yourselves as I am of you.  For many of you, your hard work - either all year or one you realized you needed to make a change - really paid off.

As a reminder, passing the Regents is separate from passing the course.  I have posted this in the past, but am reminding you of the State Examination Policies.  The ink is below, as is the paragraph that applies to passing the Regents but earning a failing grade in the course (see te last sentence below.)  I reviewed each affected student on an individual basis based on your overall performance in the categories listed in the first sentence.

Enjoy your summer!

SECTION SIX AWARDING OF CREDIT AND ISSUANCE OF REGENTS DIPLOMAS 
Awarding of Credit for Courses of Study
A course of study involves class attendance, homework assignments, quizzes, tests, and other instructional activities. In many instances it also involves the taking of a State exam at the end of the course. When deciding whether a student who is enrolled in a course of study has satisfactorily completed the course and is entitled to credit for such course, the teacher should evaluate the student’s performance on all these activities. In accordance with Section 100.5(a)(5)(v) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education (http://www.p12.nysed.gov/part100/home.html), passing the Regents Exam in a subject shall not be construed as having earned a unit of credit in that subject unless the student also passes the course as offered in a registered high school or meets the requirements for credit by exam. (See section below, Students Not Enrolled in Courses of Study.)
