Dear Parents of the Class of 2025,

Now that we have finally made it to the end of the school year, we would like to congratulate you and your children on the successful completion of a pretty tough year. Nonetheless, we still have much to plan while we anxiously await the arrival of our newest Clippers in September.

Please read through the information below regarding academic and medical records, our Math Placement Exam, and how to select your child's language course. At the bottom of this email you will find information regarding summer assignments and athletic clinics.

When you sign in to your online Harbor account, you will now see a checklist that has been assigned that allows you to provide us with all of the required information and documentation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Admissions Office at 718-836-7100, x117 or via email at admissions@xaverian.org.

I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable summer.


Regards,

Mark Spelman ’92 P’22 ’23
Assistant Principal for Enrollment

Academic Records & Information - Due by July 15th

This information is required to help us prepare your child’s schedule and get them set up for a successful start to the school year. Please provide us with the following documents by uploading them to your online checklist.

Report Cards and Transcripts
Although your child’s current school will send us official school records, we often do not receive them in time for class placement. Especially due to the circumstances surrounding this school year, it would be helpful for us to receive a copy of your child’s academic records early.

Language Course Request
On the ‘Academic Info/Language Choice' form, you will find a place to request your preferred language course. We will try to honor all course requests, but cannot guarantee class placement due to class and schedule availability.

Regents Courses and Credit
This school year has presented many challenges in terms of Regents Exams and Regents credits. Please be sure to provide us with accurate information about which Regents courses your child was enrolled in, which exams they took, and if they were awarded any Regents waiver credit.

Although your child may be entitled to receive credit for NYS graduation requirements, this does not guarantee that they will automatically be promoted into the next higher level math or science course.

We want to ensure your child’s success, especially as they begin their high school career. As such, if your child has not taken the Algebra 1 Regents Exam or did not score an 85 or higher on the exam, we will be using a combination of final scores received in the course and their performance on our math placement exam to decide on class placement. More information regarding the math placement exam is provided below. For science class placement, if your child has not taken the Regents Exam for Living Environment, class placement will be based on their performance in their science courses. Evaluation of a student's progress and promotion into a higher level course will be done on a case-by-case basis.

Please be sure that you also upload any documentation that you have received as proof of your child’s Regents score and/or waiver credit granted to the checklist assigned on the Harbor.


IEP/504 Accommodations - Due by August 15th
If your child currently has a 504 plan or an IEP, please upload an updated copy to your assigned checklist. If you have any questions regarding your child’s accommodations, please contact Mr. Tom Tellefsen at ttellefsen@xaverian.org.

Math Placement Exam

Students who were enrolled in a Regents Algebra course and did NOT take the Regents exam in June, must sit for our Math Placement Exam so that we can evaluate their progress for promotion into Geometry. If your child has taken the Algebra 1 Regents exam, but has not received the score of 85 needed to be promoted into Geometry, they are also eligible to sit for the Math Placement Exam.

There will be 2 exam dates offered this year.
Wednesday, July 14th
Wednesday, July 21st

The exam details are as follows:
  • Length of Test - Test will run from 9:30 - 11:00 AM. Students will begin checking in for the exam at 9:00 AM.

  • The exam will cover a variety of topics in the Algebra 1 curriculum with an emphasis on functions, systems of equations, factoring, and quadratics.
