Trimester III Exam Schedule
Dear Families,
Beginning June 4, students will enter exam week for Trimester III with Reading Day. Click here to find the Trimester III exam schedule. The exam schedule may undergo a minor change before Friday’s Reading Day. The most current schedule will be posted at the high school. Below, please find what exam week will look like in case you have any questions, or need to make particular arrangements.
Friday, June 4: Reading Day
- School is open regular hours. This is a day for students to prepare for exams, final papers and exhibitions. This is also an opportunity to catch up with outstanding work, work with groups for final presentations, use the Tech Center and printers around the school, etc. This is a quiet work day. Students may choose to work at school or at home. Students are not required to report to school, and it is not counted as an absence if they are not here. However, you may prefer your child to come to school for the full day to work. Please send him or her. School will be open. The Library will be open all day. No classes will meet so that all teachers are available. There will be review sessions held. If a student is in crisis, teachers may encourage that student to make an appointment or attend a review session.
- Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 7, 8, 9: Exams. Exam periods are 9 AM-11 AM and 1 PM-3 PM. Each day, students should come in plenty of time for their morning exam, and students may leave after their exams are complete. Again, the exam schedule is attached.
Thursday, June 10: 8:30 AM start time. We will have an arts assembly in the morning, wrapping up arts for the year, then advisory and clean-up. Students will be dismissed after lunch. If students are in need of community service, they should check in with their class dean, as there may be opportunities to help teachers pack up for the summer on this day.
Friday, June 11: 8:30 AM start time. We will have class meetings to distribute yearbooks and wrap up the year. Then, we will have a school meeting to give end of the year awards, lunch, then head to NYU for 2010 graduation which will begin at 1PM. Students will be dismissed for the year after graduation.
Please note, all students must be dressed appropriately for graduation. Nothing revealing, no t-shirts, jeans, flip-flops or sneakers.
Finally, don’t forget, tomorrow is Field Day! Students should be here by 8:30 AM. Every student needs to bring a lunch (no nuts, seeds or glass bottles). This year, we will begin with a brief introduction of the Class of 2010 and their after high school plans and ribbon cutting to celebrate the new addition to the high school, then head to Pier 40 for games, bonding and fun. Each student will receive a t-shirt to wear for Field Day tomorrow morning.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
Best, Ruth

3. Spring Admissions Alert:
Greetings! As the end of the school year approaches, the Admissions Office is already planning for Fall 2011. In order to best anticipate enrollment needs, it is helpful for the department to know the number of current LREI families who intend apply for admission for a sibling for the 2011-2012 school year.
In order to facilitate our planning for 2011-2012 we ask that you contact the Admissions Office by June 11th to provide your child’s name, date of birth, current grade and school name, and the grade to which she or he will apply for the 2010-2011 school year. In doing so you will assist the admissions office with entering this information into our database so we may provide you with information about the process beginning in late summer.
As a point of reference, please be advised that LREI offers an optional Early Notification Program for applicants to Fours, Kindergarten and First Grade who are siblings of current LREI students, children of faculty or staff, and children or grandchildren of alumni. This program expedites the admissions process for those who are members of the community and benefits the School by clarifying the number of places available in each grade for the general applicant pool. Applicants to Fours and Kindergarten must be four years old and five years old respectively by September 1st of the year in which a child will begin school.
Should you have any questions about the admissions process for your child, please contact the admissions office at 212.477.5316. You may also send us information about your child by sending the aforementioned details to admissions@lrei.org. We look forward to our continued work with LREI families.
Best wishes for a healthy spring!
The Admissions Team
