InformNet teachers use “Learning Check-Ins” to assess student learning. These are teacher-initiated video conferences that students must attend within two school days of the request. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes and is intended to evaluate the student’s understanding of their submitted work. During a Learning Check-In, students are required to have their cameras and microphones on and be prepared to share their screen.

Grade 12 Provincial Exams

Grade 12 students are required to write their provincial exams at their day school. These exams contribute 20% to their overall course grade. At the beginning of the semester, the day school administrators receive a list of students enrolled in the following English and French Immersion grade 12 courses: Math 40S Applied, Math 40S PreCal, Math 40S Essential, English 40S Comprehensive Focus, English 40S Literary Focus, and English 40S Transactional Focus, Mathématiques au quotidien 40SX, Mathématiques pré-calcul 40SX . This helps ensure that students are signed up for the right exams. The day school administrator registers students for the provincial exams. After a student completes a provincial exam, the day school adjusts their final grade based on their performance. Students will receive information about when and where these exams will take place.
The final grades given by InformNet are out of 100 marks. Day school administrators receive both the current percentage a student has in the course and the corresponding score out of 80. Full-time grade 12 InformNet students are registered to take provincial exams through our school.

"Final responsibility for the administration and marking of the test remains with the school and/or school division in which the student is enrolled." - Pg. 13, Grade 12 Provincial Tests: Policies and Procedures.
