The Global History & Geography Regents Examination will be given 7:30 am, Tuesday June 14th in the Gym.

The exams tests history from the Stone Age to the Present for all the world. One half of the test is based on Ninth Grade Global Studies & one-half is based on Tenth Grade Global Studies. The Review is extensive and very demanding because it includes material for both years.

*********************************************

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS NOT BE ABSENT EXCEPT FOR ACTUAL ILLNESS AND OTHER AUTHENTIC EXCUSABLE REASONS.

*********************************************

THERE WILL BE EIGHT REVIEW TESTS AND MAKE-UP TESTS ARE PROVIDED ONLY WHEN THERE IS A PARENTAL NOTE SUBSTANTIATING AN AUTHENTIC EXCUSABLE REASON FOR THE ABSENCE.

Test should be made-up on the day the student returns.

Passing the Global Regents is required for Graduation.
