GED classes
to begin in multiple locations
HFM BOCES is accepting new students in January 2009
Demand has been high for GED classes through HFM BOCES and
seating is limited in each class, so students must call the
office to reserve a seat. Classes have been scheduled
in five different locations in Johnstown, Gloversville and
Amsterdam.
See below for dates and locations.
Students should call 736-4340 or email
spodolec@hfmboces.org
to reserve a seat at the registration class of their choice.
Voicemail is available 24 hours a day. Please provide your
name, age, mailing address, phone, email and preferred
location. Reserve your seat early!
Students must attend the scheduled registration session for
each site. Please bring something to write with, paper, a
form of identification that shows your date of birth and a
photocopy of that ID. In the first session we will answer
questions to determine if the class is right for you, fill
out paperwork and begin to assess your skills.
These adult education classes are intended for people age 21
and older. Learners age 18-20 will be admitted based on an
interview with the teacher and as space is available.
Books may be purchased from any bookstore or online vendor
(used books are available), or you can give a cash deposit
of $15 to your teacher if you want to borrow a book. The
book you will use is Complete GED published by McGraw Hill/
Contemporary, ISBN# 0-8092-9469-9. The Fulton Book Company
in Gloversville (725-7913) offers a 10% discount to HFM
BOCES students. Mysteries on Main Street is in Johnstown
(736-2665) also carries the book.
You will also need a plain calculator and a Casio fx-260
calculator to prepare for the exam. The Casio fx-260 may be
borrowed in class, but may not be taken home.
New students will only be accepted on the dates specified.
Due to the extremely high demand, attendance is required 2
days per week.
Please call to reserve your seat: (518) 736-4340.
