BCP Weekly Updates: Monday, January 26th, 2025 (DAY 7)

 

Dear Families,

Thank you for taking the time to review Baccalieu Collegiate’s announcements for this week. As always, please review the updates for important reminders, upcoming events, and school information.

Updates and Important Information

1. Midterm Exams
   Midterm Exams will take place during this week (January 26–30). Important points:
   - If a student misses a mid-year exam, documentation is required. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the administration on a case-by-case basis (as per NLSchools AER policy).
   - In general courses, students will complete summative assessments in school during the mid-course exam period. Ms. Reid's general ELA class will be working on their mid-term assessment throughout their regularly scheduled classes of midterm week.
   - Please remind your child that students are not allowed to talk to each other during exams, even after they have completed their exam and are waiting for the class to finish. It may compromise the integrity of the exam, and talking can distract others who are still writing.
   - Classes will continue throughout the week as normally scheduled, as per NLSchools policy.  
   - If school is closed due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, any exams scheduled for that day will be rescheduled to take place during the week of February 2-6. Any changes will be communicated as early as possible. Just in case, students should bring home their study material every evening this week.

Dear Families,

Thank you for taking the time to review Baccalieu Collegiate’s announcements for this week. As always, please review the updates for important reminders, upcoming events, and school information.

Updates and Important Information

1. Midterm Exams
   Midterm Exams will take place during the week of January 26–30. We encourage students to begin preparing now and avoid procrastinating with their studying. Important points:
   - If a student misses a mid-year exam, documentation is required. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the administration on a case-by-case basis (as per NLSchool AER policy).
   - In general courses, students will complete summative assessments in school during the mid-course exam period. Ms. Reid's general ELA class will be working on their mid-term assessment throughout their regularly scheduled classes of midterm week.

   - Please wait until the exam period has ended before signing out your child(ren). Paging classrooms during exams disrupts students who are still writing and can affect their focus.
