The exam and final evaluation period for the end of Semester 1 will occur from June 19 to June 24th, 2026, as shown on the school year calendar.

Classroom teachers will communicate with their students and their families how the final 30% of their overall grade will be demonstrated.
Student Schedule for the exam/final evaluation period: Teachers will inform students if they are expected to attend and what exams or final evaluations they will be completing.

If a student does not demonstrate significant evidence in the form of final evaluations and/or exams, it may result in a reduced grade and/or loss of credit based on the overall evidence as reflected in the term work and final evaluation components.

ACE students will attend school with regular programming during this exam/final evaluation period.

Exams and Evaluations: Grade 11 and 12 students will have exams and evaluations. All exams will be 75 minutes in length unless otherwise stated in the exam schedule (to be posted). Students are expected to be in class at 8:15 with exams beginning at 8:30 a.m. Similar to EQAO testing, all students have up to double the time to complete an exam.
*New this year, Grade 9 and 10 students will have structured final evaluations for full credit compulsory courses during the exam and evaluation period.

They may also be completing a summative assessment task. Classroom teachers will communicate with the home if a student is required to attend these days.
Student Attendance: Attendance will be taken and submitted for scheduled exams or evaluations, as well as in-person credit rescue opportunities.
