Testing & Accommodation Centres

Testing & Accommodations Centres will be open from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. at all Summer School Locations for 2019.

Accommodations

Testing & Accommodation Centres will be open for students who require accommodations. Limited assistance is available at each school site to support students requiring:

• Readers
• Scribes
• Use of inclusive technologies (Read and Write Gold and Dragon Naturally Speaking)
• A distraction-free environment to write tests or complete assignments

Typically students who access accommodations have specifically identified learning needs and have a current Individual Program Plan (IPP). During Summer School, any student who requires accommodations can use the facility. A student’s requirement for accommodations must be discussed and agreed upon with the teacher prior to any exam. Students with identified learning needs or identified as an ELL student and registered in 30 level courses, who applied for Diploma Exam Accommodations while registering will be responsible for informing their teachers of their identified needs based on a copy of their IPP or LSP.

If you did not apply for Diploma Exam Accommodations while registering, please contact the school administrator at your summer school location no later than July 2, 2019.

Testing

Testing & Accommodation Centres will be available to students who need to write a test at a different time other than class time, or require extra time as agreed upon with their teacher.

• Students should access the Testing Centre outside of class time when possible, to minimize their time away from classroom teaching time.
• Students requiring a reader, scribe or the use of Read and Write Gold may need to remind their teacher to provide a digital copy of their assignment or test prior to the testing date.
• Testing staff will need to be notified in advance when a student requires a reader, scribe or isolation.
