Havergal College Course Calendar, 2016-17 Academic Year

• 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
