Students in Grades 4 and 7 will be completing the Foundation Skills Assessment between October 1st - November 8th, 2024.

The FSA is a learning assessment for all grade 4 and 7 students. It focuses on the areas of literacy and numeracy. FSA results are one way of measuring how the education system is doing in these key areas. It assesses how students think, communicate and reflect - not just the facts they know. The FSA is not intended to be used to rank students, teachers, or schools. The FSA is a snapshot of student learning at a
moment in time. For parents and caregivers, it tells you where your child is at in their literacy and numeracy development, as well as areas where they may need support. When all students participate, it also gives the Ministry of Education and Child Care a clear picture of how the education system is performing as a whole.

More information can be found about the FSA in the attached flyer.

Attached below are the 2024-25 Parent and Student Handbook, the 2024-25 Code of Conduct and the Fair Notice document for parents (located in the Code of Conduct).
