January 2026

Dear MWHS Parents/Guardians,

Our Mid-Year Examinations and the NYS Regents Examinations are scheduled for Tuesday, January 20th through Friday, January 23rd, 2026. Students will only come to the high school when they are scheduled for exams on these days. Some in-class exams will be given the week before.  Please view the January 2026 Block/Midterm and Regents Schedule here and the attached PDF for transportation information and more. Please pay close attention to examination times, transportation information, and cancellations due to inclement weather.  Subject area teachers will inform students of specific room assignments.  

These midterm and final examinations (for semester classes) are important because they:

  • represent 5% of the final grade in full-year courses (Midterm Exams)

  • represent 10% of the final grade in semester courses (Final Exams)

  • provide a cumulative review of the first semester's work

  • provide a comprehensive analysis of student progress

  • provide a testing experience that will enable students to perform well on the June local and state examinations.

It is important that students attend all scheduled examinations. Make-up examinations will only be given if the absences are validated by a medical excuse signed by a physician.

Please review the attached information with your child.  Please contact their House Office, if there are any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dylan Ferrier

Assistant Principal
