Mid-Term Examination Schedule and Student Procedures

Dear De La Salle Community:

Please find the link for the January 2019 Mid-term Examination Schedule, the Examination Procedures and Administrative Expectations for the session below.

STUDENT PROCEDURES FOR EXAMINATIONS

Examination arrival and attendance:

It is the responsibility of every student to have a copy of the exam schedule and to be aware of his/her exam dates. Each student is responsible for attendance and punctuality. Sleeping in or misreading the exam schedule will not be acceptable reasons for missing exams. Students who are late for an exam will not be given any additional time without the permission of the administration. Students who miss examinations for any reason other than illness, unforeseen circumstance or reported traffic delay will be considered as having absented themselves without authorization and will consequently be assigned no mark for the missed examination. Students who deliberately, willfully or through neglect miss examinations will consequently be assigned no mark for missed examinations.

Personal Illness, etc.:

If a student must miss or misses an examination because of personal illness or unforeseen circumstance, a parent is asked to phone the Main Office and inform Ms. Di Prospero of the absence prior to or at the time of the exam. Required as a follow up is an original copy of a medical certificate from a qualified health practitioner, specialist, psychiatrist etc. outlining the reason for the absence(s)and this must be presented to the Main Office. These medical notes must be presented to administration before a student can be permitted to write a subsequent examination.
Student Services will assist in arranging for missed exams due to illness and/or unforeseen circumstance to be written on a later date during the examination session upon discretion of the administration.
In cases where students experience chronic or extended illness, an evaluation plan approved by the principal will be put in place by the Student Services Department before the scheduled examination periods.
In the event of inclement weather or any unforeseen circumstance whereby exams cannot take place during the regularly scheduled examination dates, rescheduled exams will take place on Tuesday January 29th,2019.
