Grade 8 Canadian Assessment—May 12pm.
The grade 8’s will participate in a Canada-wide assessment in Mathematics, Science and Reading. This year, Mathematics will be the major topic of the assessment. This Canadian Assessment is set up by the provincial ministers of education and happens at regular intervals. It provides information on the educational system in these subject areas. Previous assessment reports are available on the CMEC website (www.cmec.ca). No results are reported for individual students or schools.
Most students will be able to complete the assessment within one and a half hours, but there will be two hours allowed to complete the work.
