Bond Gr. 11/12 Mathematics and Science courses completed their Final Exam for Term 2 in January. Due to remote learning, Bond secondary ran only necessary final exams. Those courses, where exams could be replaced, had final assessments that were worth 30%. Those final assessments are including projects and/or assignment/s such as presentations, oral assessments, or special projects.

Remote learning can be difficult on a student's mental health. The Principal requested that teachers keep that in mind when determining final grades of remote learning. On the flipside, students are still accountable for their attendance and daily work.
