On April 11, 12, 15, & 16 all Grade 10 students who are taking English Semester 2 will write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) during the spring administration. We are setting these times so that all students have 150 minutes of writing time if needed. Students who were previously eligible, but have not yet written the test, or who were unsuccessful on their first attempt, will also have an opportunity to write. Students must successfully complete this literacy requirement for the granting of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
