Status of Standardized Testing: The April ACT and May SAT and Subject tests have been canceled by their respective sponsoring companies and, as of March 20, the College Board has reported that “traditional, face-to-face” AP exams will not be held and that it is investing in an “at-home testing option.”  Our Technology Department is awaiting information from the College Board regarding its at-home testing platform. In the meantime, the College Board is posting detailed updates regarding SAT and AP exams on its website here and emailing information directly to registered students. The ACT has posted a similar page here. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to review this information.

The June Regents Exams were canceled and the New York State 3-8 Assessments, K-12 NYSESLATs and Alternative Assessments have been suspended for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
