Course Calendar 2016–2017
•
students with an “Extra Time (up to time and a half)” accommodation will have it applied to
all exams. Students with only this accommodation will receive “Extra time (up to time and a
half)” in the gym with their class and teacher. Students with multiple accommodations (i.e.
“Computer” and “Quiet Room”) will have their additional time applied while in the MML.
New Accommodations Based on Educational Assessments
New psycho-educational assessments must be received prior to May 13, 2016 for implementation for
June’s exams. Assessments received after this date will be implemented by September in the following
academic year.
Newly Requested Accommodations
If a student arrives at school on the morning of her exam with a doctor’s note requesting new
accommodations, her exams for that day will be rescheduled to the exam conflict day to give the
school time to review the note and to apply the new accommodations in ways that are consistent with
school practice. Her other exams will continue as scheduled with the new accommodations if they are
deemed appropriate by the school.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
All students are expected to be proficient in English. Students in their first two years at Havergal who
have been educated in a language other than English or French will be given extra time and a dictionary
or electronic translator on all assessments as deemed necessary.
RETA WESTON LIBRARY RESOURCE CENTRE
The Reta Weston Library Resource Centre is located in the Upper School and provides programs and
services for students, faculty and staff. The collection includes both print and non-print materials
including electronic resources. These reflect school curricula as well as recreational reading. The
automated Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) provides computer searches of our library
collection. Students receive instruction on library skills and research methods. Virtually all resources
may be borrowed with the exception of current issues of magazines and newspapers, which must be
used within the Library.
Terms of loan include overnight (sign out after 3:30 pm, return by 8:30 am the next school morning)
and two-week periods. The library collection is a shared resource dependent upon the honourable and
responsible use by all.
Materials that are lost are replaced at the borrower’s expense. Library loans may be renewed for an
extended time provided that they are not on reserve for another library user. Overdue library loans are
subject to fines of 25 cents per school day to be paid directly at the circulation desk. Students should
note the due date of their loans in their Student Agenda as a reminder to return materials on time
