Sayville Waives Midterms to Deal With Lost Class Time Due to Sandy
The district makes several adjustments for make-up time and will use vacation weeks as back-up options.
The Sayville Board of Education Thursday night approved waiving high school midterm exams and having regular class on those days to make up for lost class time due to super storm Sandy.
There will be classes held January 22, 23 and 24 and January 22 will feature a two-hour delay for ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students so that testing can be held for the government and economics final exam.
The board also is using Monday, March 25 and Monday, April 1 as regular school days to gain back lost curriculum time.
