As Semester 1 ends draws to a close next week, we want to share some important information about the week of January 19-22, 2026, which is a Flexible Learning Week for all students. This week marks the end of Semester 1 and the transition to Semester 2. During this week we have important educational opportunities happening, including Provincial Assessments for all grade 10 and grade 12 students & learning opportunities for all students all week. Students are also able to connect with their teachers and resolve any IEs or missing work. Please see below for more details and information.
Provincial Assessments for ALL Grade 10 and 12 Students
This week we will be running three mandatory Provincial Assessments for all Grade 10 and 12 students: Numeracy 10, Literacy 10, and Literacy 12. These assessments are graduation requirements as part of the BC Graduation Program.
