Final Exam and Regents Exam Testing Information - PLEASE READ

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,

As the end of the 2024-2025 school year approaches, I want to inform you about final exam schedules and Regents exam schedules.  The attached documents explain, in detail, the days of final exams and Regents exams as well as changes to the regular school day based upon those exams.  You will also find information about transportation on Regents testing days.  Please take the time to read the documents carefully.  I have included the days of final exams and Regents exams below for your reference as well as the days school is closed for high school students.

In order to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to take their New York State Regents examinations and final examinations safely and without disruption, we have decided to implement additional proactive safety measures.

Locker clean out will begin on Monday, June 2, 2025.  Students will no longer have access to lockers after Friday, June 6, 2025.  All student lockers (hallway and gym) must be cleaned out by the end of the school day on Friday, June 6th.  The combination on all locks will be turned over by our custodial staff at the end of the day. Unwanted items left in lockers will be removed by our custodians and the lock secured.  Remember students will not have access to any school lockers after Friday, June 6th.   Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School will not be responsible for textbooks and personal items left in lockers.  It is the student's responsibility to plan accordingly!

On Regents testing days, students arriving for examinations will enter through one door under the direct supervision of staff.  We will employ a full security staff in and around the building.   Students not scheduled for an examination do not need to attend school and will not be admitted into the building during testing for any reason.   Students will only be permitted to enter the building with the writing materials necessary for their exams and any school issued materials to be returned on the day of the test. Students may not enter the testing site with outer garments, cell phones, book bags, backpacks, pocketbooks, electronic devices, or any other non-test related items. These items be held by security until the student exits the testing location.   Please note that the Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School is not responsible for any of these items.  

Your assistance in helping us properly prepare for these crucial final and Regent examinations will set the academic tone necessary during these important last days of school.  If you have any questions, please contact the main office at (631) 842-4010.

Thank you for your continued support throughout this school year!

Sincerely,
Joseph M. Agosta
Principal
