Assessment

Assessment is ongoing and differentiated. It may take the form of observation, testing, oral presentations, projects, self and peer assessment to name just a few techniques. At varying times, more formal assessment/evaluations occur. Grade three students participate in the provincial EQAO assessment of reading, writing and mathematics the end of May/early June. DRA/Primary and CASI/Junior reading assessments take place at the school level in the fall and spring.
