The timetable will not be modified on this day so students will only attend the first two classes of the day.
Senior School Exams
Students in Grades 9 through 11 will begin exams during the week of June 2nd. Grade 11s begin their exams on Monday, while Grade 9s and 10s begin exams on Thursday. Grade 9 and 10 students will continue with classes up to and including Wednesday, June 4. Some exams are set in the morning (starting at 9am) and some take place in the afternoon (starting at 1pm). As well, oral exams in languages are arranged individually between the student and their teacher. Please encourage your child to look at the exam schedule very carefully so they show up at the right time.
Students who have SLPs that involve test accommodations will have those accommodations during the exams.
