Dear Methods Students,

Now that the Regents Assessment has been graded and returned, you should know if you need to take any of the full Regents exams.  If your grade on any of the three sections of the assessment was less than 8, you need to take a full exam for that Regents course.  Keep reading for details.  If your grade was 8 or higher on all 3 sections, this email does not apply to you except to remind you to keep reviewing the high school curricula so that you are prepared for student teaching.

The passing grade for each Regents exam is a true 80% (i.e., the conversion table applied to the scores of secondary school students will not be applied).  You will be allowed three hours for the exam but may leave as soon as you are finished.  You may bring and use a straight-edge, a compass (for the Geometry exam), and a graphing calculator; TI-89’s are not permitted.

The full Regents exams will be given on Fridays September 29, October 6, and October 13, 10am-1pm. in PH 004.  You will take the exams that you have not yet passed in the order of the courses (starting with Algebra 1, then Geometry, and then Algebra 2). For example, if you need to take Geometry and Algebra 2 exams, you will take the full Geometry Regents on September 29 and the full Algebra 2 Regents on October 6; if you need to take only one exam, no matter what it is, you will take it on September 29.

• If you need only one exam, schedule to take it on September 29. 
• If you need two exams, schedule to take them on September 29 and October 6.
• If you need 3 exams, schedule them on September 29, October 6, and October 13.

To schedule an exam, reply to this email today with the following information:

• Your name
• Name of the exams you need to take (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2)
• Dates of your exams.

Exams will be printed for students who have replied to this email and scheduled their exams.  If you do not reply to this email, you will be forfeiting your chance to retake the exam(s) you need and therefore not meet the exit requirement for Methods. Therefore, I will reply with a confirmation email.  If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact me, again.

Please arrange to reschedule any observations for ICE or Methods that occur during the times of the exams. Tell your cooperating teachers, supervisors, and the AP/ Department Chair that a commitment came up for one of your classes and you need to reschedule certain dates. Hopefully, you do not already have ICE formal observations scheduled on these dates.

Keep studying!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Weinman
