Student-Based Services

This summer school program helps students in grades 6-12 fulfill graduation requirements. The program is for middle and secondary students who require remediation in English, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign language. Health, physical education and Regents review classes are also offered. Regents and Regents Competency examinations are administered. This program is offered at several locations for six weeks in July and August, ending with the Regents examinations in August.

Program #432.012 Exams on the NYS testing schedule will be offered to students who do not attend the remedial instruction classes.
Program #404.010 Each participating district will receive a full trial with instructions on preparing elementary and middle school students. The trial is an adaptation of trials prepared by the NYS Bar Association for the annual high school competition. Each district will prepare both a plaintiff and defense side of the case. A team consists of six plaintiffs and six defense participants with an option for three alternates (maximum team size is 15). Districts may register several teams. Two training sessions are scheduled for teachers. The program culminates in a one-day Mock Trial tournament in the spring. Program #404.011 This hands-on "mock murder" competition provides high school students with the unique opportunity to conduct a full-scale investigation of a fictional crime. Student teams receive an elaborate and entertaining fictional murder-mystery scenario riddled with subtle clues and then a simulated crime scene containing real physical evidence (i.e., fingerprints, hair and fibers, documents). Actors, portraying a cast of suspicious characters-all with the means, motive, and opportunity to be the perpetrator-bring the murder-mystery to life by interacting with the competitors who perform the diverse duties of police officers, crime scene technicians, homicide detectives, forensic scientists and prosecutors. Throughout the competition, students are thoroughly evaluated by expert police officers, detectives, forensic scientists, and prosecutors. The First place team receives the Forensic Detectives Cup to display in its school for one year.
