OSSLT - This letter went home to all grade 10 students to join the after school literacy classes which will begin the week of October 18th.

OSSLT -This letter went home to parents of all grade 11 and 12+ students to register them to write the OSSLT between November 22-25th at St. Josephine@Bilberry or St. Josephine@Graham. Grade 10 students will write the OSSLT between May 9-12. Further details to follow.

This year the OSSLT will be written in person between November 22-25th for all grade 11 and 12+ students and between May 9-12th for all grade 10 students at either the St. Josephine@Graham site or the St. Josephine@Bilberry site. Students must write EQAO in a proctored environment. If you do now wish your child to write the test this year in a brick and mortar setting, then your child can attempt the test next year or take the OLC40 literacy course. As the literacy graduation requirement for all students graduating during the 2021–2022 school year has been waived, graduating students do not need to take the OSSLT. Please review the following resources available for your child to prepare for the test. The EQAO practice test is included in this resource. In preparation for the literacy test, our grade 11s and 12+ students will be participating in a literacy blitz the week of October 25th.
