Hybrid Model School Timelines
School start and end times for students will remain the same as in previous years, though students will have a shortened day in the
classroom. Students who are scheduled to be at school in-person will start at their regular start times and will be dismissed after
150 minutes of in-person learning. Once they arrive home, it is expected they will join their classmates with distance learning.

Missed Summative Term Assessments


Students who know ahead of time that they will miss an assessment are to discuss the situation beforehand with the
subject teacher. Students should be prepared to complete any missed assessment on the first day of return to school
or as negotiated with the teacher. Students who are absent on the day of the assessment for reasons such as illness,
field trip or suspension are responsible for:
 The work covered and assigned during the class
 The handing in of assignments at a time previously negotiated with a teacher
 The writing of any missed tests at a time previously negotiated with the teacher.

After a legitimate prolonged absence (more than two days) the student is to make arrangements with the subject
teacher immediately upon returning to school for an alternative date for the missed assessment. Students who miss an
in-class summative assessment for an unauthorized reason may lose the opportunity to complete the task. At reporting
time, the teacher will use professional judgment to determine if the student has missed key evaluations or too many
evaluations. If there is insufficient evidence of achievement to validate a passing grade, the credit will be in jeopardy.
