Important Dates

The end of the school year is fast approaching and there are a few dates of which you should be aware.

Term 4 Cutoff

June 12th is the cutoff date for work to be submitted for term 4.  Work submitted after this date will not be assessed until term 4 report cards have been completed.   If a student has not submitted all of the work for a course prior to June 12th the report card comment will mention something to the effect of " __% of the work for this course has been submitted.  A final mark will be assigned once all of the work is submitted and a report will be issued in the fall reporting period"

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

• If I do not complete the course by June 12th, will I fail the course?
• No.  Students have 12 months from when they became active in a course to complete it. 
• If I haven't finished my course by June 12th can I continue to work on it through the summer?
• Yes.  In fact, you will not receive a final mark for a course until you have submitted all of the assigned work and tests so it may be necessary to continue working through the summer.
• Are teachers available for help in the summer?
• In the past the answer was no.  This summer we are looking into the possibility of having a handful of days when certain teachers are available at the school for students to come in to get help, write tests, and/or drop off work.  If this plan goes ahead, a schedule of times will be posted.

**Correction** When I initially posted this I had mistakenly listed a provincial exam for Social Studies 10.  There is no exam for Social Studies 10; it should have said Social Studies 11.  The information in the post is now correct.  My apologies for the error.
