Every student will receive a final mark, and all students on track to move to the next grade will do so in the fall. For grades 10 and 11 students, graduation assessments will be postponed.
Every student eligible to graduate from Grade 12 this year will graduate. The only graduation assessment required for current Grade 12 students is the Grade 10 numeracy assessment. The Ministry of Education will ensure Grade 12 students who have not yet completed this assessment and who are otherwise on track to graduate are able to meet this graduation requirement. The ministry will also work with the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training and with post-secondary institutions on admissions and the smooth transition of graduating students in this extra-ordinary year.

While we are not sure exactly how we will facilitate this, parents/students will have access to school buildings to pick personal items from lockers or desks. It may be that time slots will be made available to limit the number of visitors at one time to school buildings – more information will be coming soon.

Custodial staff have undertaken efforts to focus on ‘touch points’ within schools in regard to cleaning protocols in the preceding months. This means desks and surfaces that are touched or interacted with are ‘high priority’ for cleaning. This is standard practice for cold and flu season but it, of course, of extra importance during the current COVID-19 situation.

The rental of all school district facilities has been discontinued until further notice. This includes school spaces such as classrooms, gyms and recreational spaces, spiritual use and theatres.  Day and child care operations are not affected at this time.
