Dear Parents and Guardians: 

This is a reminder that all eligible grade 11 and non-graduating grade 12 students who are learning in-person will be taking part in the OSSLT this Wednesday, Nov, 24th, and Thursday, Nov 25th.  

Please ensure your student brings a fully charged Chromebook to school on the test days. 

Students will complete the assessment in two sessions (Session A on Nov 24th  and Session B on Nov 25th ). Each session is designed to be completed in 60 minutes, and students will complete each session in one sitting. Additional time can be provided for any students who require it. After completing both sessions, students will be presented with a questionnaire that asks them about their experiences, attitudes and perceptions with respect to literacy. 

Results will be released after the open-response questions have been scored. An Individual Student Report will be generated for each student after the scoring of the assessment and are usually reported to schools before the end of January.

Students have the opportunity to become familiar with the online test and its platform through EQAO’s online practice test and the preparation session offered by teachers at W-O. 

For more information about EQAO and to view the full practice test, you are encouraged to visit EQAO’s website www.eqao.com. 

Sincerely,

Carolyn Salonen
Principal
