    SCHOOL RESPONSIBILITIES


    BC SCHOOL

    Before requesting an Out-of-Province Numeracy Assessment schools should consider that students have three opportunities to write this assessment; one initial write and two rewrite opportunities in their graduation years (grades 10 – 12). Schools should note that the numeracy assessment includes both an electronic and paper component.

    IMPORTANT NOTE – For an Out-of-Province (OOP) Graduation Numeracy Assessment, the OOP site MUST HAVE a printer to print the paper-based component of the assessment as well as a scanner capable of sending the student’s two-page written response to the Ministry’s service provider. If such a request is made and granted, complete instructions regarding this process will be sent to the home school and the OOP assessment site. It is the BC school’s responsibility to ensure that the OOP school is able to handle the process around the paper response portion of the Numeracy Assessment.

    • Ensure that circumstances surrounding the request meet the criteria laid out in the Request to Write Out-of-Province Section in Chapter 1 of the Handbook of Procedures
