January 14, 2013

1.     The Provincial examination schedule is included later in this handbook for your reference.  All other exams will be written during class time.  It is the student’s responsibility to know when his/her exams are scheduled and to be on time to write them.  The exam schedule will be posted in your classroom.
 
2.    Provincial Exams must be written as per examination schedule.  The school cannot give permission for absences from Provincial Exams.  The same applies for School Exams, which are arranged by individual subject teachers.  Please do not ask for advanced sitting for final examinations. 
 
3.    If a student has a conflict with two exams scheduled for the same time, the student will always write the Provincial Exam at the scheduled time and make-up the other exam during one of the other exam times.  Provincial Exams must be written at the scheduled time.   Students with conflicts should arrange an appropriate make-up time with the subject teacher whose exam they will miss. 
 
4.    If a student is unable to write final exams because of illness, a phone call from a parent is mandatory on the day of the exam before it starts.

7.    Provincial Grade 10 - 12 exams will be written as per the schedule outlined later in this handbook.  All other final exams will be written in your regular classroom.
