• During the Gr. 9-12 student assembly on Wednesday, we will be reviewing the semester testing process. Students will sign up for the tests they are required to take on Thursday and Friday. Students must take at least 3 tests, of which two must be from the core subjects. Exemptions from remaining tests may be granted if the student’s grade is 90% or higher. Students with more than four tardies are required to take all tests, as well as students who have been suspended for any reason. Please refer to page 10 of the student handbook for additional information. Here is the testing schedule:  Semester Test Schedule
