We have been in and out of the office during the month of July. Beginning August 1st, Mrs. Rosenbaum and Mr. Johnson will be on vacation. Should you need something please reach out to Mrs. Venne at 518-565-5810 or nvenne@saranac.org.

We have ordered August Regents Exams for students that scored below the appeal cut off, which is a 50. If your child would like to retake a Regents Exam, scored above a 50, and you have not already contacted us please let us know via email:

• arosenbaum@saranac.org or mjohnson@saranac.org by August 1st
• nvenne@saranac.org after August 1st

Not all Regents Exams will be offered and only a limited number of exams are available. Please review the attached Regents Exam schedule below for more information.

We will be offering a student and parent/guardian orientation for all freshmen on Wednesday, August 30th at 6pm. More information will be forthcoming from Ms. Manor. Please save the date!

Schedules will be released on SchoolTool the first week of August. Schedule changes will be done differently this year. Below is an attached form that MUST be filled out for students interested in a schedule change. All forms must be submitted no later than Monday, August 28th. If a schedule change is able to be completed it will be done in time for the first day of school. If it is not able to be completed then students will receive a Schoology message as to why. Students will receive paper schedules when we return to school and will not be able to make changes until Monday, September 18th with all changes complete by Friday, September 22nd.

The following guidelines will be followed when making a change:

• Academic misplacement – Student is placed in the wrong level of class (Honors/Accelerated/AP vs. regular pace), or is placed in a class without meeting the pre-requisite (placed in chemistry without passing biology first).
• Missing an academic class- Student is missing a core class such as English, social studies, math, science, or physical education.
• Missing a graduation requirement -- Student is missing a course necessary to graduate in the upcoming school year.
• To balance classes so that overcrowding does not occur
