Havergal College Course Calendar, 2017-18 Academic Year

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR JUNE EXAMS Students with existing accommodations will meet with their Guidance Counsellors to review their exam accommodations. They will use the same accommodations for ALL of their exams. This will mean that: • Students with a “Quiet Room” accommodation will have it applied to all exams. The Quiet rooms will be B60 (no computer) or A30 (Multi Media Lab, with computer). • Students with an “Assistive Tech: Computer” accommodation will have it applied to all of their exams. Students with a computer accommodation will be in the A30 (Multi Media Lab). • 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 A30 (the Multi Media Lab). Psycho-educational assessments must be received by the beginning of May for implementation for that year’s exams. Parents and students should check with the Learning Support Specialist for the exact date each year. Assessments received after the beginning of May 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 are students whose first language is a language other than English or is a variety of English that is significantly different from the variety used for instruction in Ontario schools. All students who are admitted 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 Agendas as a reminder to return materials on time or earlier. This responsibility is a crucial courtesy to other library users, ensuring their access to the library’s collection. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY Havergal operates two computer labs: 25 desktop and 12 laptop computers in the Reta Weston Library Resource Centre; and 25 computers in a state-of-the-art Multi Media Lab, which includes industry-standard digital video, image manipulation and graphic layout software. Havergal is wireless throughout the campus and students in Grades 7 to 12 will be required to bring personal laptops or other mobile devices into the school to gain Internet access and complete assigned work in class. Personal laptops or other mobile devices will be used in the classroom at the discretion of the individual teacher. Students are asked not to text and walk and to be thoughtful about their use of mobile technologies. Students and one of their parents/guardians are required to read and agree to comply with the Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement and abide by the Havergal College Code of Conduct in order to have network access at Havergal.
