May 3rd, 2022
On Thursday, May 5 from 8:20 – 11:50 a.m , Grade 10 students will write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), as well as some grade 11 and non-graduating grade 12 students who were absent/unsuccessful on a prior OSSLT test and are required to complete this graduation requirement.
Please remind students that they MUST bring their fully charged WRDSB issued Chromebook, and they may want to bring earphones, paper, a pen, and a computer mouse for the test.
All participants will be writing in either their grade 10 first period class or they have received a personal email with directions/location of their test.
In order to create a positive environment that will optimize the conditions for successful completion of the OSSLT, the instructional school day has been modified for all students at KCI.
