January Assessment/ Examination Information 

Summative Assessment/Examination takes place from Monday, January 26nd 2026 through January 29th, 2026. There are no classes for students on January 30th as it is for grading and classifying day. February 2nd, 2026 is the start of the new semester. 

The examination schedule is posted on our website and around the school. It is your responsibility to know when and where your examination is taking place.  

 If you are in a semestered course.Please return all books and materials to your teacher prior to the examination. 

A few helpful reminders to help the process run more smoothly: 

• At the start of the examination, the only thing that should be on your desk is pen, pencil, calculator and ruler (if writing mathematics). Jackets, purses, bookbags etc. should be placed at the front of the room. Cell phones should be turned off and stored away from your person. According to NS Student Code of Conduct: “An individual using communication technology to gather or copy information during a test or exam, in violation of the ethical code of the school, will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined in the school’s Code of Conduct and board policies. 

• Your teacher will provide more specific information regarding procedures/processes for these assessments.  

• Attendance will be taken at the start of each examination and the names sent to the office. We just want to make sure you know where you are suppose to be. 

• Once you have finished the examination, you are asked to go to the library or cafeteria. No one should be wandering the halls as students will still be writing and we need to keep the building quiet so they can concentrate. 

• If you are getting picked up and are waiting for your drive or your bus. Please wait in the cafeteria or the library until your drive comes.
