Semester 1 Exams

Reassessment/Review & Optional Final Exam Structure for All Levels

Here is a summary of how Bishop O’Byrne High School has structured our semester end:

•     All Final Exams will be optional for students. 

•     The exams will serve as a benefit to the students that choose to write as they can use the mark on their final to replace an existing mark that will ultimately improve their final grade. 

•     Teachers will be using the Final Exam mark to best benefit the student’s grade. 

January 20 – 22nd Reassessment & Review

This time will be used as reassessment and review days.  No attendance will be taken.  Students will need to sign in for contact tracing purposes.  Students may only attend and be at school for their assigned period(s) unless other arrangements have been made. For example, if you have a Period 2 Math class that you would like to reassess or review, you are able to do so on Wednesday, January 20 from 12:30–3:00pm.  Students are required to communicate with their teacher if they will be accessing the reassessment/review period.

January 25 – 27th Optional Final Exams

This time is designated for students choosing to write final exams.  Exams will be written in assigned period(s).  Students are asked to only be at school for their period unless other arrangements have been made.  For example, if you have a Period 2 Math class and have chosen to write the final exam, you are able to do so on Monday, January 25 at 12:30pm.  Students are required to communicate with their teacher if they will be writing an exam.

Please note: CTS classes do not have final exams.  They will be using the assigned period time from January 20 – 27th for students to complete projects and continue with skill development. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the assigned period.
