Assessment Week
January 23-27, 2017
We are trying a new approach to exam week for
the end of semester one. All students are
expected to be in attendance all day, every day,
just as they were in past years. However, with
the exception of the two Provincial Exams,
exams will only be written in the afternoon
sessions. The mornings will be spent in tutorial
style classes with students being able to select
the teacher they need to be with for the morning
classes. Teachers will be in their classes ready
to help students review material, understand
concepts they are having difficulty with,
complete assignments and prepare for the end of
the semester assessments. Students will be
signing up a week ahead of time so that class
lists can be generated for attendance purposes,
as the mornings are considered regular
instructional time.
