What Goal100 is, and what it is not.
The short version
- Goal100 is an independent learning resource. It is not official and not endorsed by NYSED or any school.
- We aim for every student to reach 100%, but we cannot promise any grade, score or result.
- Goal100 supports teachers, schools and professionals; it does not replace them.
- Health, money, career, legal, ENL and special education topics are general information, not professional advice.

Contents
1. Not official
Goal100 is independent. It is not made, endorsed or approved by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), the New York State Board of Regents, any school district, any test publisher, or any calculator or software maker. References to standards, tests, products and organizations are for alignment and identification only. Trademarks belong to their owners.
2. No guaranteed results
“Goal: 100%” is a learning goal. We cannot and do not guarantee any grade, test or Regents score, promotion, graduation, placement, admission, scholarship or award. Results depend on many things outside our control, including practice, instruction, attendance and the official tests themselves.
3. Not a substitute for school or professionals
Goal100 supports, and does not replace, teachers, schools, the district's official curriculum and pacing, counselors, doctors, nurses, therapists, lawyers, accountants or financial advisers. Follow your teacher's and school's directions when they differ from a course or challenge.
4. General information only
- Health, safety, nutrition and mental health: general education, not medical or mental-health advice. In an emergency call 911. For mental health crisis support in the U.S., call or text 988.
- Money, taxes, retirement, contracts and careers: general information, not legal, tax, investment or financial advice. Rules change and differ by person; each item shows when it was last checked. Check the official source or a licensed professional.
- English as a New Language (ENL), special education, IEPs, Section 504 plans, testing accommodations and school rules: general information only. The student's school, the Committee on Special Education or Section 504 team, and the official NYSED rules decide what applies to a student.
- Test information (for example NYS Grades 3-8 tests and Regents exams) follows NYSED's public information as checked on the date shown, and can change. NYSED's official documents control.

6. Physical activity
Movement and PE activities carry some risk of injury. Do them with adult supervision, in a safe space, within your own limits, and stop if anything hurts. See the Physical Activity Safety Notice.

Programs, contests, scholarships, tools and websites mentioned in the courses and challenges are run by others. Check their official sites for current dates, eligibility, rules and costs. A mention is not an endorsement.
