Please see your teacher to get your specific testing location. Room assignments will also be posted at the atrium and main entrance each day.
While we plan for midterms and Regents exams months in advance, winter weather reminds us that we need to be flexible and make changes to ensure the safety of students and staff. If there is a weather emergency, please check the website, your email, and/or Twitter to get updates for how testing will proceed.
