William Floyd High School will administer the New York State Regents Examinations from January 20 to January 23, 2026. The school will follow a specific testing and transportation schedule during this period. Details about these schedules are available for students and parents.
To maintain test security and an appropriate environment, several procedures will be in place. Students will be searched upon entering the building with detectors. Only necessary test materials should be brought; all backpacks and pocketbooks will be confiscated.
According to the New York State Education Department, cell phones or electronic equipment are not permitted in the building. Any such devices brought in will be confiscated, and a parent or guardian must retrieve them at the High School Main Office between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The department also prohibits any communication devices during testing. If a student enters with such a device, their exams will be invalidated. “As per NYS Education Department, NO cell phones or electronic equipment will be allowed in the building. All cell phones and electronic equipment brought into the building will be confiscated. A parent/guardian will be required to pick up any confiscated cell phones/electronic equipmentin the High School Main Office between 8 am and 3:30 pm only.”
There are no make-up opportunities for these exams; students must attend on their assigned dates and times. They are also required to stay for the entire three-hour exam period.
Cold grab-and-go food options will be provided before exams begin each day.
For transportation, bus riders should arrive at their regular stop at usual times for morning exams and at 11:15 a.m. for afternoon sessions.
Passing multiple Regents examinations is required by the New York State Education Department to earn a high school diploma. Attendance is therefore expected for all eligible students.
