Literacy 10/12 and Numeracy 10 Assessments
This year, students will be writing the Provincial Literacy 10 and 12, and/or Numeracy 10 Assessments during the week of January 24th - 27th, 2022 (January 28th is a turnaround day), If your child has both English and Math, they will be writing both assessments. If either course is linear (year-long), they will not write until June. In general, these Assessments are meant to be a more wholistic view of our students' literacy or numeracy skills, as they near graduation, as opposed to student's understanding of content from a particular English or Math class. Students will be writing in the semester they have an English 10 or Math 10 course.
1. All Grade 10s are required to write this assessment, and this assessment:
· is meant to be reflective of life, not just one English or Math class;
· completed online;

2. When do students write?
· All students must show up during their allotted time (TBD);
