How to Request an Appeal of Student’s Results on the OSSLT
CDDHS student success on the OSSLT is important to us! Here are some ways we prepare your child for the test!
- Students in grade 9 have the opportunity to write the practice test on the OSSLT day. These practice tests provide our Literacy Team with information which will best prepare students for the test. Teachers will go over the results with students prior to the OSSLT.
- Literacy Lab work books are used in Grade 10 applied and locally developed classrooms for added practice.
- “Pass the Test” workshops are held after school twice a week, starting 6-7 weeks prior to the OSSLT. An invitation to join will be extended to students that would benefit from this targeted instruction. Please contact the school if you would like your child to join this workshop.
- Previously eligible students will dialogue with a literacy instructor to reflect on past test results.
- A “literacy boot camp” will be offered shortly before the test to refresh literacy test skills.
- If you have any questions about the OSSLT, please contact the school at 519-925-3834.
