It is expected that students be present to complete all evaluations for the final 30%. These evaluations are designed to

enable students to consolidate their learning and skills from the course and demonstrate

achievement of

the overall expectations. These evaluations will occur towards the end of the course during the

regular school day

and/or during the formal exam period. There will be no exemptions from the final evaluation(s).

Depending on the grade, level, and nature of the course, the final 30% will include an exam and a culminating performance task.                   

Student Absences during the Culminating Performance Task (CPT)            

A Culminating Performance Task (CPT) is a consolidation of learning and demonstration of student achievement. The CPT is a scheduled course requirement and students have practised and prepared for it throughout the term. The CPT is partially completed during class time and under the supervision of the teacher, although minor aspects of the task may be completed outside of class time. 

The potential academic consequence for missing part or all of this final evaluation is a mark deduction or a zero.

         Student Absences during the Formal Exam Period

A student who is absent from a scheduled exam due to illness will provide a medical note to verify that absence; otherwise, a mark of zero will be assigned.

If it has been determined that a student’s absence is as a result of a skip/truancy, a mark of zero will be assigned.

A student who is absent from a scheduled exam due to a vacation will be assigned a mark of zero. Formal exam days are published well in advance and permission to write final exams outside of the designated dates/schedule will not be granted.
