Final Assessments
We would like a few moments to review the late start / school cancellation impacts on our current final assessment schedule plan.
In the event of a late start due to poor weather during the final assessment schedule, this is a reminder of the plan to adjust the final assessment schedule. In the event of any delay of cancellation, we will always send a review alert each morning to review the changes.
| This is the adjusted bell schedule for Jan 20-23. 9:00-10:00 Period 1 10:05 – 12:05 Extended Period 2 for assessments 12:05 – 12:50 Lunch 12:55 – 1:55 Period 3 1:55 – 2:17 Recess 2:22 – 3:22 Period 4 3:22 Dismissal 3:31 Buses Depart |

School Cancellation plan for Jan 20-23
If school is cancelled on Jan 20-23, that plan cycle day will be moved to Jan 26th. For example, if school is cancelled on Jan 20, that Day 3 cycle assessment plan will be moved to Jan 26th with us repeating this Day 3 plan. The school will solve conflicts if a student is due to write Eng 10 on Jan 26th.
Exam schedule on Jan 28 and Jan 29
2 Hour elay – We simply begin the assessments at 11:00 AM, instead of 9:00 AM. If there is a school cancellation on Jan 28 or 29, final assessment and marking day get pushed to the next day.
As in the past, we will send alerts each day to outline any adjustments listed above
We hope your student will be well-prepared for their upcoming final assessments.
We always share this preparation guide with students and families.
To ensure a smooth assessment period, please be aware of the following notes:
- Exam Room Rules:
- Be on time for the final assessment, lateness is a total disruption of the writing environment
- Students must be in the assessment room for at least two hours prior to dismissal.
- No cell phones are permitted (With the new cell phone policy this is now an easier message).
- Washrooms should be used before the assessment begins.
- School Attendance:
- Students without final assessments should not attend school during exam days.
- Students present at school but not writing until later in the day must remain in the Horton Hall for final assessment purposes.
- Transportation:
- Buses will run daily, but alternative pick-up arrangements are encouraged.
Friday January 30th will be a marking day for high school staff and there will be no classes for all students. If there is a school cancellation during the assessment period, the high school marking day will be moved to Feb 2, with Semester 2 starting on Tuesday Feb 3.
Thank you
Horton Administration
