This year, our Grade 3 and 6 students will write the mandatory provincial EQAO assessment of reading, writing, and math between Tuesday, May 23 and Monday, June 5, 2017. Please help your child do their very best by marking these dates on your family calendar, avoiding appointments or vacations that will cause your child to be absent, and maintaining a positive attitude about this opportunity for your child to shine! The data that the EQAO generates is used by our teachers, school administrators, school boards, and the Ministry of Education to ensure that all students are receiving the highest possible quality of education in our province.
