Please see the January 2026 Examination Schedule along with important information and guidelines. Please note that teachers are not permitted to make any changes to exam times or dates so please contact VP Laura Hogan if you have any concerns.
Please also take note of the following as per the memo sent out December 19, 2025:
Examination Schedule
If you are absent for an exam and do not provide documentation (i.e. see “Examinations missed due to illness” section below), you will receive a mark of zero (0) for the exam. Final examinations will NOT be rescheduled to accommodate alternate activities which conflict with the timing of exams (ie. vacations, employment commitments, appointments, etc.)
* Kindly note that Period 5 exams are scheduled for Monday, January 26. Exams for Periods 3 and 4 will occur after the Period 5 exams.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather that causes school buses to be cancelled, that day’s exams will be written on Thursday January 29, 2026 beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Examinations missed due to illness
If you miss an examination due to illness, you must present a medical note to the Vice-Principal by 9:30 a.m. on the day immediately following the exam. The medical note must clearly indicate that “[Your name] was not able to write the exam on [the date of the exam] at [the time of the exam] due to [indicate reason].” If you miss an exam for another reason (i.e. bereavement), you must provide supporting documentation. Students who do not present documentation supporting the absence will receive a mark of zero (0) on the exam.
Please reach out anytime you have questions or concerns.
