There are two reporting periods each semester. For those courses which run for one semester, each reporting period has a value of 35% and a final exam worth 30% except where specified. For the full-year courses, each semester is assessed using the same 35%, 35%, and 30%, but the final year’s mark is an average of the two terms.
Students are reminded that while the passing grade in high school is 60%, post-secondary institutions require higher entrance marks.
If students are going to be absent for a test, they are advised to call the school BEFORE the test is to be written. Students who miss a test with just cause will have their marks prorated or will rewrite the test at a time designated by the teacher. Students who miss assigned tests and cannot provide a reasonable excuse may be ineligible to write the test and receive a mark of zero.
STUDENTS ABSENT FROM AN EXAM ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A DOCTOR’S EXCUSE
Marks can be monitored through each of the four terms by accessing PowerSchool, see below for more information.
