For students, families and teachers, the shift to remote learning was unexpected and happened quickly. Remote learning involves remote assessment and we want to keep families informed of what to expect for assessment and grades during remote learning. “All students who were on track to progress to the next grade will do so” (Alberta Education). Final report cards will be distributed at the end of June and will include final marks and comments for each course.
Alberta Education has provided guidelines for ongoing learning during the COVD-19 pandemic. The instructional hours included in the BGSD Parent Guide to Assessment during Remote Learning posted below are inclusive of all aspects of learning (e.g., teacher delivery of content, readings, activities, assessments).
Thank you for your support and understanding during this time. If you have any concerns about ongoing learning for your student, please contact your teacher directly, as you would anytime throughout the school year.

Last Day of Classes: At the May 27, 2020 Regular Board Meeting, the Trustees approved a motion to modify the 2019-20 school year calendar. The final day of classes for this school year will be June 19, 2020. This calendar adjustment provides time for the following important tasks:
-
Grade and subject-specific planning meetings for teachers to share resources and prepare for the fall school re-entry; and
-
A scheduled safe return of all instructional and library resources.
