November 5th, 2024
We would like to remind our families that Friday, November 8th is an Instructional Support and Evaluation Day.
The WRDSB has divided the 10 exam days into a 1:4 day split each semester, as shown on the WO school year calendar. We will once again be utilizing these days at the midpoint in each semester, as listed on our Ministry-approved calendar. This day is an opportunity for students and teachers to provide time to focus on a variety of assessment and evaluation methods that will aid students in consolidating learning and demonstrating the overall expectations.
- Some students may need to attend in-person for certain learning opportunities (e.g., missed assessments, catching up with the support of their teachers, conferencing with their teacher, credit rescue etc.)
- Teachers will communicate directly with those students in their classes who need to demonstrate further evidence of their learning in person.
- Transportation will continue to run as normal on these days and bell times and periods will occur at the same time. Teachers will be available to the students in the course blocks on the week 2 schedule.
- ACE students will attend school with regular programming and following regular attendance procedures.
Also, a reminder that Monday, November 11th is the first day of Semester 1, Term 2. Semester 1, Term 1 Report cards will be distributed on Friday, November 22nd.
