EXAMS AND OTHER SUMMATIVE EVALUATIONS SEMESTER 2, 2019
Published on Apr 9, 2019 18:23
We strive to ensure students meet with academic success and want to make sure you are aware of very important timelines within the semester. Please note the dates for final exams. Full attendance during exams is essential to your child's success. The week prior to exams many classes have additional in-class exam components, in which attendance is also mandatory. The last 3 weeks of most courses are designated to completing Course Culminating Tasks. The summative mark in each course, consisting of the CCT assignment and final exams constitute 30% of your child's mark in each course. It is imperative that your child be in full attendance during these busy times.
Dates for both additional in-class exam components (June 14-19, 2019; and for Gr. 9 students this includes the Math EQAO June 13-14, 2019) and final exams (April 16-17, 2019 for students taking Gr. 10 Civics/Careers, June 20-26, 2019) will not be rescheduled. Please do not book vacations, plan to attend tournaments, have job commitments, etc. during this time. A mark of zero will be assigned if your child does not attend on the date of their scheduled exam or additional in-class exam component.
Should a major medical illness arise please contact the Main Office immediately. A Doctor's note indicating the medical emergency and the impossibility to complete the exam on the scheduled date is required, or a mark of zero will be assigned.
In most cases CCT dates in the last 3 weeks of the course will not be rescheduled, and a mark of zero should a student be absent will be assigned. Please ensure that you are contacting both the teacher and the Main Office prior to absences during this time.
Your child's success is our priority, and we want to ensure your child has every opportunity to be successful not only throughout the semester, but also during the essential summative evaluations in the final weeks of each semester. Thank you for your co-operation.
