Bell Schedule

The January Grad Assessments will run over three days, each day with an extended PLT, including Tuesday. If you are not scheduled to write the GLA 10, sign up for PLT.

Grad Assessment Instructions

• Arrive early – assessments start promptly at 8:30.
• Bring your student photo ID, PEN – personal education number, water bottle.
• All phones and devices must be turned OFF and kept in your bag/backpack. Bags & backpacks will be kept at the front of the classroom.

Students must check their assessment date and room location on the posted schedules at the front of the school, near the main office.

Students will demonstrate their learning through two key tasks on the Grade 10 Graduation Literacy Assessment: Analyzing and Making Meaning from Texts (Comprehend) and Communicating Understanding of Texts/Making Personal Connections (Communicate). For example, in Part A, after responding to a number of texts related to the essential question, students will respond to a writing prompt, such as, “To what extent do humans have control over the natural world?” Students will be asked to communicate their depth of insight into, or understanding of, the topic. They will support their argument with reference to the texts in the section and may also draw upon their own experiences and knowledge. 

Students may wish to do some additional preparation using the following the links
