Mid-Semester Reports

At mid-semester, students will receive a numerical grade in each subject based on the 4 categories (i.e. Knowledge/Understanding, Thinking/Inquiry, Communication and Application) indicating progress to date as well as an assessment of learning skills.  The report is based on continuous daily effort, assigned work, projects, unit tests and other forms of evaluation.  Student attendance will also be entered on these reports.  Parent-Teacher Interview night is scheduled subsequent to the distribution of mid-semester reports.  Parents and students are encouraged to attend.

Final Reports

At the end of each semester, all students will receive a final report.  Subject teachers will contact unsuccessful students.

Final Summative Evaluation

Final evaluations are an integral part of evaluating material learned in each credit course of study.  These final summative evaluations may be in the form of written exams, practical exams, culminating assignments etc.  All evaluations will occur near the end of the semester and/or during the scheduled final evaluation period. The evaluation technique and weighting (percentage of course's final grade) of the exam are determined by each subject's department, according to the curriculum guidelines of the Ministry of Education, program of study, board policy and individual student needs.

Attendance during the Final Examination Period

Students are expected to complete each of their scheduled final examinations. If a student is unable to complete the final summative evaluation due to illness, a medical certificate will be required or a zero will be assigned on this component of the course. This certificate must be submitted to the principal prior to the end of the examination period. Family holidays and/or other appointments must be planned outside of the final exam period, as exams will not be rescheduled outside this evaluation period.
