Thank you for providing documentation when your child has been absent. In order to ensure that our records are accurate it is important that we receive either a call from home or a note from a parent or guardian when a student misses class.

We appreciate your support as we work in partnership to ensure student success.

Homework Help is a project funded by the Ministry of Education. Math students in grades 7 to 10 can now access live, interactive online math help by visiting Homework Help, free, real-time math tutoring by certified Ontario teachers.

Students can log in from Sunday to Thursday, between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. for individualized confidential math tutoring. There are discussion rooms for each grade where students can join and see what questions other students are asking, watch the tutors draw on the whiteboard – and ask their own question for on-the-spot help.

Mackenzie continues to see strong performances in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) and the Grade 9 EQAO Mathematics Test according to the results released by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) – please see the chart below.

Steady and consistent increases in achievement levels are an indication that a number of initiatives to support students across the school are working and high achievement levels are not the result of a specific cohort or class. These improvements give us a better understanding of what we are doing to address learning and achievement and helps identify where we need to place additional supports for our students.

While we continue to see steady improvements year over year, we remain committed to addressing the achievement gap for students who are working towards achieving the provincial standard and beyond. By working together with staff, parents and community we can be sure that our students will be prepared for the future as they transition from Mackenzie to future learning choices, careers and life.

The first day of school for all students is Tuesday Sept 3, 2013.
