To all my students,
Finally, the end of school year is here!!!
Sorry couldn't be with you guys on the last day - I'm having a little physical problem with my foot - hence the absence on the last day.
We have come quite far this year: To some of you, the successful completion of the course and the passing of the Chemistry/Living Environment Regent exam put the perfect ending to this whole year of hard work. To others, the best way to move forward onto next year of the new curriculum may be to find someway to finish the unfinished business during the summer (taking Aug. Regent Exam, or Summer School to get the needed labs and then the Regent Exam). The Regent Exam for Living Environment and Chemistry is going to be on August 18, 2010 (Wednesday) during the afternoon session. Please check with the main office or your guidance counselor about registering you for the Summer school/August Regent Exam.
Other than that, that would be all for now... Folks, Have a safe and happy summer vacation!!
Signing off,
Dr. Liu
