Continuing this year, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 will be calculating the course average using only the 4 quarter grades. Students enrolled in a Regents level course are required to sit for the corresponding Regents exam. The Regents exam score is reported on a student’s transcript. Passing the Algebra 1 Regents exam is required for graduation. Passing the Geometry and Algebra 2 Regents exams are required for an Advanced Regents Diploma.

These courses will not be giving a midterm exam in January. As a department, we feel there are more valuable methods to assess our students’ progress throughout the year. We will be incorporating cumulative activities throughout the year.
