Appeal process: as
according to board policy, the staff & administration view the purpose of
student evaluation as a way to (i) support student learning (ii) facilitate
programming decisions and (iii) strengthen effective teaching. “When a
parent/guardian or student appeals a mark received on a test, exam, project
or course/subject, they must first meet with the instructor. In the event
the parent/guardian is still not satisfied, they appeal to the principal.
The teacher and the student/parent/guardian shall meet with the principal to
review the mark. The principal shall be the final authority. Exam review,
for senior students/parents, will be announced in advance. Students are
reminded to adhere to all academic (including homework, re-tests, etc.),
attendance and behavior code expectations. This is especially important for
our senior high students who have a higher degree of responsibility and
maturity placed upon them. Course changes for senior high students is only
allowed up to Sept. 17, 2010 @ 3:00PM (for first-year courses), Sept. 17,
2010@ 3:00PM (for full-year courses) & Feb.9, 2011 @ 3:00PM (for second
semester courses).. Course withdrawal is extremely rare and only students
in grade 12 can make application to the principal. Exams will be written by
all students as per our “Attendance Policy” and related exemptions will
apply. Plagiarism and/or cheating/forgery of any kind is very serious and
will result in an automatic “0”. Please review our school-wide LITERACY
STANDARDS on the reverse-side of this document. Science Fair projects “may”
be mandatory in all junior & senior (first-semester and full-year) high
science courses.science
