Semester Exams and Schedules

With the end of the semester in sight I would like to bring to your attention details regarding our approach to the first semester exams and the educational thinking behind these arrangements, see the calendar below. It is important to appreciate that the December examinations are formative. That is, a vital part of an ongoing learning process and not just a tool for assigning grades. Indeed nearly all students are in the middle of full year courses.

Consequently we have rearranged our exam schedule to allow time immediately following the exams for students to review their learning with their teachers. This time will optimize the learning by providing an opportunity to consolidate the material covered and address mistakes or mis-conceptions while it is still fresh in the minds of students. These are very important learning days.

Individual examination schedules are available on PowerSchool in the top right hand corner of the Grades & Attendance page. I would also like to inform students and parents that no examinations will be taken ahead of their scheduled date.  Please note that students do not need to be on campus unless they have an exam.  If students have two exams on Monday, they will stay on campus between their exams.

The Last Two Weeks of the Semester… December 2016

Semester 2 Schedules are available to view on PowerSchool and students should check the Matrix View in My Schedule.  If students wish to make any changes they should see their Counselor.
