Our tentative schedule for exams will be listed on our assessment calendar (found on our school website) prior to the holiday break.

Exams Written by Grade Level

• Grade 7 - Math
• Grade 8 - Math and Science

In an effort to further support our students as they prepare for their upcoming exams, we will be offering our Study Hall weekly for the month of January. This is an opportunity for students to receive extra help in Math, Science, English Language Arts, Social Studies and French. Study Hall sessions are from 2:45 to 3:45 each Tuesday in the LLC and available to ALL students in Grades 7,8 & 9. It is important to note that Study Hall is not meant for group study but is intended for quiet individual studying with an opportunity to ask a teacher questions. We encourage students to take the time to avail of these sessions as we approach mid term exams.

NLSchools Personal Electronic Device policy will begin implementation on Monday, January 6th. This policy aligns with Paradise Intermediates exciting cell phone policy and will result in little to no change to current daily practice for our students. The policy can be found here or on NLSchools website.

As we return to school following our winter break, students are encouraged to replenish any necessary school supplies (pencils, pens, paper, etc.) and to ensure that chromebooks are charged and ready for use. French Immersion students are also encouraged to have French/English dictionaries for use, particularly as we prepare for upcoming midterm assessments.

Our winter weather seems to have arrived and with it possible weather related closures. In the event that schools within the metro region are closed due to inclement weather, a message will be sent to families through our school messenger system. Information regarding closures will also be posted to the NLSchools website.
