All Grade 12 and some Grade 11 students will receive their IB exam registrations and associated invoices next week. Parents and students are asked to check the course registration forms carefully, both for personal details and IB courses. Students who are completing the second year in any IB course are expected to complete the course by sitting the IB examination, as detailed in our HS Program of Studies. Universities also expect students completing an IB program or course to have fulfilled all assessment requirements of the course, of which the examination is the culminating assessment.
Please note that invoices are payable to the cashier on Monday October 10. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Overall Grade-to-date
If you have not already done so, please check PowerSchool for the first HAL update in each of your child’s subjects. This is an assessment on the Habits & Attitudes to Learning and the rubric can be found in the Student Daily Planner. Teachers will update PowerSchool on Friday September 28 with a Grade-to-date and HAL Grade for all students. This Grade-to-date is a ‘snapshot’ of where students currently stand academically and is on the 7-1 scale, based on the ‘body of evidence’ of student work completed so far, with teachers using the Grade Descriptors and their professional judgement. For your reference, the Grade Descriptors can be found inside the back cover of the Student Daily Planner.
