Followed by 2 shortened periods where you will have the opportunity to catch-up on work in a supervised setting

Grade 10s will be…

After the test you will have a lunch break followed by the same 2 shortened periods where grade 10s will also be able to have a supervised study hall and catch up on course work

For grade 11s & 12s…

There will be NO regular classes on Wednesday.
The cafeteria will be open and supervised for independent study periods. The learning commons and learning resource will be closed for the day to accommodate test writers.
Floors 2, 3 and 4 of the school will be used for the literacy test, as well all teachers will be involved, so you will not be able to move around the school or locate specific teachers. Therefore, please come on this day to the cafeteria with work to complete or studying that you need to do.
This is an excellent opportunity to ensure you have completed all projects/assignments before midterm report card are completed by your teachers.
