WRDSB will continue to implement a split in the evaluation days using a 1:4 split each semester, as shown on the secondary school year calendar. Thursday November 6 is the date of our first mid-semester evaluation day.
The mid-semester evaluation day is an opportunity for both remediation and deeper understanding of the topics covered in class with a focus on a variety of assessment and evaluation products, conversations and observations that will aid students in consolidating learning and working towards a provincial standard of the overall expectations prior to a reporting period. Possible learning opportunities could include assessments (which could require in-person attendance), performances, conferences, and completion of assignments as determined by each teacher. Classroom teachers will work with their students at assignment completion, and/or offer additional opportunities for students to demonstrate a skill or overall curriculum expectation that has been missed or requires further demonstration.
Teachers will communicate with their students the expectations/schedule for mid-semester evaluation days in advance. If your student is required to attend in-person, we will follow the week 2 schedule: Block A, B, Lunch, D, C. If your student is not asked to attend in-person by their teacher(s), they are not required to be at school on these days. Students who are not required to attend in-person can learn from home.
Transportation will run at regular times.
