Hello Y Roads! I miss you all and hope you and yours are doing ok in this difficult time.

Some good news: students in P2G programs and D79 Adult Education programs have a new TASC waiver option.

The proposed waiver is for District 79 students who meet the following criteria:

* Only need 1 to 2 more TASC or Regents subjects, having passed all others
* Students must be actively engaged in remote learning
* Student's progress through attendance, outreach efforts and completion of work is being documented regularly
* District 79 HSE curriculum is being administered
* Student work is being collected and audited by D79 teachers

If students meet this criteria, the Principal can sign a waiver granting a pass for the relevant TASC subjects.

Students who are only missing 1 or 2 TASC subtests, I encourage you to get in touch with me (Parvoneh) or Ms. Santiago ASAP to discuss enrollment options.

Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to finish your TASC and earn the HSE diploma!

Spread the word!
