Due to inclement weather impacting Zones 3 and 4, including Erin DHS, the Board has revised the exam schedule as outlined below. Given the number of weather-related disruptions, the following adjustments apply only to WHSS, NDSS, CDDHS, ODSS, WSS, and EDHS.
Revised Exam Days
Exam Day 1 – Wednesday, January 28
Exam Day 2 – Thursday, January 29
Exam Day 3 & Exam Day 4 – Friday, January 30
Exam Day 3: Friday morning (9:00 a.m. start)
Exam Day 4: Friday afternoon (12:00 p.m. start)
Grade 9 Students
Students enrolled in Grade 9 Math will continue to write the EQAO exam.
All other Grade 9 Semester 1 exams are cancelled. Final marks will be based on term work and culminating activities.
If a Grade 9 EQAO exam is scheduled on Exam Day 4, students will begin writing at 9:00 a.m. on Friday to allow sufficient time to complete the assessment.
Grades 10–12 Students
To accommodate two exams in one day, exams for Grades 10–12 will be adjusted to a maximum length of 1.5 hours. Teachers will use professional judgment to make appropriate adjustments while maintaining the integrity of each assessment.
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we navigate these necessary scheduling changes.
