Dear Families,
Thanks for checking in on this week’s announcements from Baccalieu Collegiate. Be sure to look through the updates for important reminders, upcoming events, and useful school information.
Updates and Important Information
- Midterm Exam Rewrites
Please complete this Google Form if you (or your child, if completed by a parent/guardian) wish to rewrite one or more midterm exams. The Assessment and Evaluation Policy from NLSchools changed last June, so rather than doing them at the end of the school year, rewrites will take place during the week of February 16–19. Students choosing to rewrite exams for grade improvement need to review and focus on areas of difficulty. To maintain the integrity of the assessment, rewrite exams will be different from the original versions. Link to Rewrite Google Form - White Hills Field Trip
We’re excited to share that we are planning a ski/snowboard trip to White Hills this year! This opportunity will be offered to high school students first. If we do not reach bus capacity, it will then be opened to younger grades. Full details, including permission and payment information, are available through Rycor. - School Development Surveys
School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to our school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. We will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge. Parents/Guardians, please take the time to fill out the survey using the link below, so you can voice your opinions and let us know how we can continue to improve. Surveys open February 9, 2026.

We’re excited to once again offer students the chance to participate in the Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat Math Contests through the University of Waterloo.
