Examination Rules:
- Students must stay in the examination room for at least one hour.
- Students arriving late will be given extra time at the discretion of the Principal (depending upon excused or unexcused
lateness).
- Diploma Exams: "Students who arrive more than one hour after a diploma examination has started will not be allowed to write
the examination. Students who arrive late but within the first hour of administration may be allowed to write at the discretion of
the principal … corresponding to the amount by which the student was late." {Alberta Educ.}
- No electronic devices are allowed in the examination room, as per PRSD/Alberta Ed. Policy (except calculators as required).
- All backpacks, jackets and personal items must be left in the student's locker.
- Textbooks should be returned in the designated place before the exam begins (please ask your teacher).
- No food or drink, except water, will be allowed in the examination room.
- Bathroom visits should occur before the exam begins. Once the exam begins, allowance for washroom visits will be on an
emergency basis only. Students will not be allowed to leave to get a drink. Bring a bottle of water.
Grades 6-9 Students: These students may not leave the school during exam times. Students in grades 7-9 may leave during lunch if a note from a parent is provided for each occurrence. Students have regular classes when not writing exams.
Grade 10:
Please note that the open campus form that some parents signed at the beginning of the school year refers only to the time between 11:48-12:37. Special permission must be granted by a parent for a student to leave school at any time other than this. This permission must be given daily and have a specific time noted on it. Parents may instead sign one form that covers the entire exam period; these are available in the office.
Grades 11-12:
Students with open campus privileges do not need to be in school when not writing exams.
Students who have permission to leave the school bear the responsibility for returning on time for their next exam. Students who come to school without a note or form will be supervised in an assigned location during non-exam times.
Students who miss their exam or achievement test due to medical reasons must have a signed note from a doctor or nurse confirming illness, or a mark of '0' may be assigned for that exam.
