Cancellation procedures as published by the Halifax Regional School Board

Schools must follow the examination schedule set by the Halifax Regional School Board and published in the 2015-2016 School Calendar.

HRSB high schools are instructed to handle school closures in the following manner:

• If a high school is closed during a scheduled exam day, the exam schedule is adjusted by advancing it one day for each missed exam day.

Example: If there is a school cancellation on Monday, January 25

• All Monday’s exams move to Tuesday, January 26
• All Tuesday’s exams move to Wednesday, January 27
• All Wednesday’s exams move to Thursday, January 28 and
• All Thursday’s exams move to Friday, January 29.

January 29 is currently a scheduled Assessment & Evaluation Day for high schools.  If the exam schedule is advanced by one day, the Assessment & Evaluation Day would move to February 1st.  In addition, the start of Semester Two would move ahead one day to February 2nd.
