STUDENT EXAM PROCEDURES
JANUARY 2026
Check carefully the date and time of your final examinations. All exams will be written in your regular classroom. Grades 9 and 10 will have 2-hour exams and Grades 11 and 12 will have 3-hour exams. Exams begin at 9:00 am. Exams begin on January 22 and end on January 28, 2026.
Students must be ready outside the door of the classroom 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the exam with all necessary materials needed for exam completion (ex. calculator, ruler, pen, pencil).
Students must remain in the exam room for at least one (1) hour. At that time, students who have completed their exam will be dismissed by their teacher. Students will not be allowed to leave the exam room in the last 15 minutes of the exam time. Students must wait in the exam room until they are dismissed by their teacher.
If you are absent from an exam, you must notify the school immediately and have a doctor’s note or another official document explaining your absence.
Buses will run on their normal schedule. Note that there will not be an early bus this year. Once you have finished your exam, you may be picked up. Students who are not being picked up must remain in the lower library for the rest of the day.
If buses are cancelled due to inclement weather, exams scheduled on that day will be rescheduled to the next exam day. Subsequent exams in the exam schedule will also be rescheduled to the next exam day. For example, if buses are cancelled on Friday, January 23rd, Friday’s exams will be held on Monday, January 26th. Monday’s exams would be held on Tuesday, January 27th, Tuesday’s exams would be held on Wednesday, January 28th, and Wednesday’s exams would be held on Thursday, January 29th.
Schools will communicate with families through email if the exam schedule needs to be adjusted due to inclement weather and bus cancellations. It will be important for families to watch for communication in the event of inclement weather. Students are expected to be present and available to write exams during the entire exam period, from January 22nd through January 29th.
Students cannot come to the school to write exams if the buses are cancelled.
Exam week is an important week for all students. While exams are being written, the Resource Centre (lower library) is available for quiet study, and the cafeteria is available for work with small groups when not used by elementary students. All other areas of the school are being used for exams and are unavailable for student use. Students who are working directly with a teacher may be in alternate locations. All other areas of the school are off-limits to students.
We wish all students the best of luck in their studies and
encourage all of you to seek extra help where needed before your final assessments.
If you have any questions or concerns about exam time,
please see your classroom teacher or Ms. Yanch in Student Services.
