Grade 10 Literacy Test

All students entering grade 9 in 1999-2000 or in subsequent years must successfully complete the Grade 10 Literacy Test in order to earn an OSSD.

• Students will normally take the test in their Grade l0 year.
• The test will be based on the Ontario curriculum expectations for language and communication (particularly reading and writing) up to and including Grade 9.
• The test will identify those students who have not demonstrated the required skills and will identify areas in which these students need remediation.
• Rockway will provide remedial assistance for students who do not complete the test successfully.
• This test is a diploma requirement which must be written successfully before an OSSD can be issued.
