Happy New Year and welcome to the final month of semester one!

Students and caregivers are reminded that thirty per cent (30%) of a student’s grade in every course is based on final evaluations administered at or towards the end of the course.  Students will be required to complete these final evaluations, which may include formal examinations, during regular class time or on the three exam and evaluation days designated for this purpose.

For this reason, regular class attendance and attention to school work are especially important during the month of January.  

Specific information regarding final evaluations will be shared by classroom teachers.

The final instructional day of Semester 1 is on Friday, January 26, 2024.  

EXAM AND EVALUATION DAYS – Monday, January 29 – Wednesday, January 31: 

  • All students must be available to attend school on exam and evaluation days to complete assessment tasks, as requested by their teacher.  
  • Courses with final evaluations occurring on these days have been outlined on the schedule below.  Teachers will also review this information with their classes.
  • Students who are not required to complete evaluation tasks on these days are able to study at home; however, supervised study spaces will be available at school.
  • ACE students will attend school according to their regular schedule

School buses run on their regular schedule during these three days.

School closure –  If an exam and evaluation day is cancelled because of unforeseen circumstances (i.e. inclement weather, school closure), those assessments will be written on the next school day and all other assessments will be pushed back one school day.  No assessments will be rescheduled on the PD Day.
