Important note regarding new students: Students that are new to our school, within two weeks of a marking period, should have some assessments in order to grade them in reading, writing, and mathematics. All other grades can be marked ‘NA’ (Not Available) until further learning has occurred. Any questions regarding specific students should be brought to a supervisor.
