Assessment, Evaluation,
and Reporting
The Ministry policy documents, “Growing
Success: Assessment, Evaluation and
Reporting in Ontario Schools covering
Grades 1-12, 2010, guides all assessment,
evaluation and reporting practices at The
Tech Academy.
Students will be evaluated in a variety of
ways in order to give an accurate picture
of what they have learned, how they have
progressed, and will afford a basis for
improving both instructional programs
and student achievement. Assessment
and evaluation will be based on the
achievement of the provincial curriculum
expectations and on the achievement
chart categories and levels.
Culminating Activities and Final Exams
Examinations are scheduled for all
students at the end of each school term/
semester. The writing of exams is a major
factor in the assessment of a student for
the purpose of obtaining a credit, along
with attendance and in-class assessment.
Students and parents are requested not
to schedule any activity that would be in
conflict with the examinations. Where a
student is unable to write an examination
due to illness, a doctor’s certificate is
required and school administration must
be contacted.
Final Grades
The final grade for a course will reflect
70% for the evaluations conducted
throughout the whole course and 30% from
final summative assessments conducted
near the end of a course.
Secondary School Provincial
Report Card
All students in Ontario receive a standard
report card based on the Ontario curriculum
through a regular schedule of report cards.
The report card provides information to
each student and their parents about the
student's achievement of expectations.
For Grades 9 to 12, a Provincial Report
Card will be issued to provide information
regarding academic progress and learning
skills. Parents are encouraged to call their
school for information or advice on the
progress of their child at any time during
the school year.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/teacher conferences are typically
held after early identification reports and/or
after midterm reports. Additional interview
times can be arranged by contacting the
school.
In addition to this, we will have continual
communication through our learning
Management system, where teachers,
parents and students can connect.
