IMPORTANT MESSAGES 

Extended Online Learning until February 10, 2021 

As you may know, the Government of Ontario has announced that all publicly funded schools in Toronto will not return to in-person instruction until February 10, 2021. As a result, elementary and secondary schools will continue to accommodate remote learning for students enrolled in in-person learning.  Students already doing online learning are not affected and can continue to pursue their studies. 

New Students Arriving to Canada 

Our office cannot book assessments until we receive your approved arrival plan and receipt from ArriveCAN (please refer to the New Requirements for International Travellers Section in this issue).  This should be done two weeks before departure.  All arrivals now require a valid STUDY PERMIT or Proof of approval for a study permit (regardless of the length of your program) 

OSSLT Update for 2020-2021

No current Gr. 12s need OSSLT completion to graduate

Mark Withdrawal Date for Quad Two:  January 20, 2021

Grade 11 or grade 12 students must submit the Course Withdrawal Request Form by January 20. For Quad 2, please note that any course demitted after January 20 will show up on your transcript.  If you plan to drop a course, please consult your counsellor.  You may contact your counsellor or teacher for the Course Withdrawal Request Form. 

Exam Date for Quad Two:  starting last week of January 

There is no formal mid-term reporting period.  You or your custodian can communicate with your teachers for an update of your academic progress.  The breakdown of mark maintains the 70/30 split between course work and the final evaluation.  Therefore, it is very important to submit course work to your teachers on a regular basis.  A good practice is to keep you teachers immediately informed if you cannot meet the deadline.  It’s now the time for you to make sure you are not missing any course work
