EQAO Information for Parents/Guardians
Please review the preliminary information regarding the 2018 EQAO Administration for Grade 3 (Primary Division) & Grade 6 (Junior Division) students below.
From May 22nd to June 4th, 2018 all Grade 3 and Grade 6 students will be taking part in the Provincial Assessment of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. This assessment is administered to all Grade 3 and Grade 6 students in Ontario's publicly funded school system by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), an independent agency of the Government of Ontario. EQAO assessment questions are directly based on the expectations set out in The Ontario Curriculum, which is what teachers teach in the classroom every day. Therefore, your child does not need to prepare in any special way. Students will write the test during the school day and are simply encouraged to do their best and show what they know.
We invite parents/guardians to check out the information provided by EQAO, by visiting the Parent Resources section of the EQAO website via these links:

Information specific to the school's administration processes and other important details will follow in the Spring of 2018.
