SEPARATE REPORTING OF PROVINCIAL EXAMINATION MARKS

On March 14, 1997, divisions/districts and schools received a Ministerial letter asking them to report marks of January and June 1997 Mathematics/Mathématiques 40S and 40G provincial examinations separately. Final grades and provincial examination marks out of 100% (where written) were to be clearly identified on report cards and transcripts. If the provincial examination was not written for reasons of weather, absence due to illness, etc., DNW (did not write) was to be shown. Reporting results in this way indicated to parents and others whether a student wrote the 40S or 40G Mathematics/Mathématiques provincial examinations and what the results were.

Effective for the 1997/98 school year, separate disclosure of provincial examination marks will be required for Senior 4 Mathematics/Mathématiques 40S and 40G, Senior 4 English Language Arts, and Senior 4 Français - langue maternelle. Final grades and provincial examination marks out of 100% are to be clearly identified on report cards and transcripts with DNW being used in situations where the provincial examination was not written due to weather, etc. As announced previously, separate reporting of standards tests results will also be a requirement for all standards tests as they are introduced.
