Summer 2026
Regents Exams & Summer School
Utilizing academic resources at Farrell, such as The Center for Learning and Academic Wellness, can benefit student performance. All students are encouraged to take advantage of CLAW, which is available every morning from 7:20 am - 8:05 am in the Learning Commons and on Tuesdays from 2:30 pm -3:10 pm in room 109.
Academic Policy Regarding Grades Below 65
- If a student has an average below 65 in any subject at the end of the school year (a cumulative average of the six (6) grades that he receives for that subject – 4 Marking Periods, Midterm, and Final Exam or Regents), he must attend summer school.
- If a student does not receive the credit for the course(s) in summer school, he will not be eligible to return to Monsignor Farrell in September.
- If a student falls below a 65 average in any three (3) subjects for the year, he will not be eligible to return to Monsignor Farrell in September.
Summer School Policy
Summer school has the potential to run from Monday, July 6th, to Wednesday, August 19th. Summer school dates are not flexible.
- As per Monsignor Farrell’s academic policy, any student who does not meet the minimum requirement of a 65 average in a class must make the class up over the summer and achieve a grade of 65 or higher.
Policy Regarding Achievement on NY State Regents Exams
- If a student passes the class for the year but does not receive credit for the NY State Regents exam in a specific subject (scores below a 65 on the Regents exam), he must attend review classes during the summer and retake the Regents exam. If Monsignor Farrell runs the review class (this is determined based upon the number of students who must re-take the exam), he must report to Monsignor Farrell.
- Regents review dates will begin on Monday, August 3rd, and will run until Monday, August 17th (no Friday classes). The NY State Regents Exams (for August) are scheduled for Tuesday, August 18th, and Wednesday, August 19th.
- Please make note of all these dates, as it is mandatory that students attend summer school and/or Regents review. If a student must attend in the summer, we expect vacation plans will be made around these dates.
