Diplomas

Although Alberta Education has canceled all provincial diploma examinations, our teachers will continue to assess and evaluate student growth and achievement regularly. Students will receive regular feedback and their grades may change to reflect their learning both before and after the transition to distance and online learning in March. As always, if we have concerns about a student’s progress since the Term 3 progress report, teachers will be in contact with parents/guardians.
All students will have final grades and a progress report at the end of June 2020. Teachers will determine final grades based on professional judgment and evidence of student learning collected before and after March 15, 2020. If a student completes a portion of a class or course and cannot engage in further learning and assessments offered, teachers will determine a final mark based on professional judgment and the student’s standing as of March 15, 2020.

DIPLOMAS ARE CANCELLED

Diploma exams have been cancelled. Under special circumstances, students can request to write a diploma exam. Students wishing to do so should speak to their teacher and school administrator.

Grade 12 students who were on track to earn 100 credits or more will still be able to graduate, and school principals will be able to award up to 15 credits to students whose programs have been impacted by class cancellations.

NON-DIPLOMA Final Assessments

At this time, all non-diploma courses will continue to assign tasks that will provide evidence of student learning. Teachers will continue to mark assignments to provide feedback on student academic progress, and final assessments may take a variety of formats. EPSB has created an information document for families:
