Ministry Assessments
Provincial Assessments - Jan. 20—Jan. 24, 2025
During this assessment period, all English 10 classes will write Literacy 10 and all Science 10 classes will write Numeracy 10 as indicated in the schedule below. We have also scheduled a Literacy 10/Numeracy 10 make-up session for any grade 12 students missing these assessments for graduation. There is a signup sheet in the office for anyone who would like to pre-write or re-write Literacy 12 on January 21. Please note that students are permitted to write assessments up to 3 times in order to better their score.
Please note the following:
- If your student misses their in-class assessment, the only make-up opportunity is Thurs, Jan. 23 (12:30 – 3:30 pm in Room 401).
- Students are permitted 3 hours to write their assessment. If your student is writing an afternoon assessment, they may not be finished writing until 3:30 pm so they may need to find an alternate way home if they ride a bus.
All classes/blocks will run as normal, so if your student is not writing an assessment (s), they are expected to be in class. If your student finishes their assessment early, they are expected to go to their regular class or the library/Career Centre—no hallway wondering.
Assessments are graduation requirement.
Each sessions assessment schedule will be shared with students & parents/guardians closer to the times these sessions run.
Students have the opportunity to take an assessment up to 3 times; where their best mark is then recorded on their transcript by the time they graduate.
The assessments are designed to be completed within 2 hours, but they have up to 3 hours to complete an assessment.
Typically, the Ministry offers these assessments are in November, January, April & June of each year.
