Dear CDHS Families,
January 20th-23rd is Midterm/Regents week in the building. Classes will not be in session Tuesday, January 20th through Friday, January 23rd. Between January 20th and January 23rd, only students who have an exam should report to school each day. I wanted to share information that I thought may be helpful to you.
Transportation
Morning Bus - Students may ride their regular school bus to school. Students who arrive on the morning bus scheduled to take an afternoon exam will spend the morning in the cafeteria while they wait for their testing window to begin.
2:15 PM Bus – Students can ride their regular end-of-school-day bus home if they are finished with their exam at this time.
3:30 PM Bus – Transportation home for those students who were not finished testing before 2:15.
Students being transported by car must arrive by 7:45 for morning exams and by 11:45 for afternoon exams.
Students can call their ride after the exam to request to be picked up. The person picking the students up from their exam is required to come into the building to sign them out. Students should bring in a signed note granting permission if someone other than their parent/guardian or approved pick-up person will be picking them up.
Arrival Procedure
All students arriving in the morning will enter the main entrance and go through the check-in station. Upon check-in, students will be required to turn in all electronic devices (including cell phones, headphones, and smart watches which should be secured in their Yondr pouch), backpacks, and other personal items for safekeeping. Students are strongly encouraged to leave backpacks and items of personal value at home if they are not needed for the day. Personal communication devices are not permitted in the testing environment under any circumstance. Once checked in, students will proceed to the cafeteria where they can get breakfast and await admission into the testing locations.
Attendance & Exam Conflicts
Students who are late for a Regents exam can be admitted until 10:00 AM for morning exams and 2:00 PM for afternoon exams but will only have until the normal ending time to finish - extended time is not permitted. Students who miss a Regents exam will need to retake it in June. Any student who has a conflict (Regents and local final on the same day) must communicate with their counselor and teachers. Arrangements will be made to complete both exams at the earliest convenience.
Lunch
Lunch will be available in the cafeteria to high school students from 10:45 to 11:30 each day.
If you have any questions, or concerns, or need assistance please call us in the High School office at 518-622-8543.
Sincerely,
Catherine Dodig
Cairo-Durham Middle/High School Principal
Friday night was an exciting day in Cairo-Durham history as Jacob Young eclipsed the long standing Varsity Basketball record for points scored in a career. With a lay-up in the third quarter, Jacob scored his 1,142nd point and passed the 1976 record of 1,141. Great job Jake.
After a 5 year hiatus it was good to see a cheerleading squad on Friday night cheering our team on to victory. The ladies will be cheering again on Tuesday and Friday night this week.
