Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, written exams are mandatory for most courses. Exams will occur in the final two week period of each semester. Attendance is critical at these times, and failure to attend could jeopardize student achievement. Please do not book family vacations or other planned absences during the two-week period at the end of each semester.
Please note that blocked examination periods are indicated on the school year calendar but they could be subject to change in the case of an emergency, inclement weather, or an unexpected school closure. Inclement weather is a frequent variable affecting the exam period in January.
We strongly recommend that families avoid planning absences during the full two-week period at the end of each semester.
