Keeping Your School Safe
“The Toronto District School Board values the contribution of all members of our diverse community of students,
staff, parents, and community groups to our mission and goals. We believe that equity of opportunity and equity of
access to our programs, services, and resources are critical to the achievement of successful outcomes for all those
whom we serve, and for those who serve our school system.”
~ from the TDSB Equity Foundation Statement
Visit www.tdsb.on.ca to learn more about our commitment to Equitable Schools.
Caring, Safe and Accepting Schools
Gender-Based Violence
The Toronto District School Board is committed to
creating school learning environments that are caring,
safe, peaceful, nurturing, positive, respectful, and that
enable all students to reach their full potential.
A positive school climate exists when all members of the
school community feel safe, included and accepted, and
actively promotes positive behaviours and interactions.
Equity, inclusion and respect are critical components
embedded in the learning environment.
Gender-Based Violence Policy (P071) states: “Gender-Based
Violence (GBV) is any aggressive action that threatens safety,
causes physical, social or emotional harm, and denigrates
a person because of his or her gender identity, perceived
gender, sexual identity, biological sex, or sexual behaviour.”
Promoting a Positive School Climate
GBV includes putting someone down because of what their
body looks like, how they express themselves, how they
identify, who they like or who they are attracted to, making
homophobic comments, using sexist language or making
comments that value boys over girls or masculinity over
femininity, or engaging in aggressive sexualized behaviour
such as relationship violence and sexual assault.
Promoting a positive school climate requires a
whole-school approach which involves all members
of the school community. It involves the development
of respectful and caring relationships between staff,
students, parents and the broader school community.
All staff are required to respond to and report any
gender-based violence. The Gender-Based Violence
Prevention Office is available to staff and students and
offers resources, intervention, school-based programming,
education, and referral support.
All aspects of school life are included in a whole-school
approach, such as curriculum, school climate, teaching
practices, policies, and procedures. This approach is
also valuable in ensuring equity, inclusion and fairness
towards all members of the school community.
If you think you may have experienced or witnessed some
form of gender-based violence or if you would like to see
specific programming in your school, speak with your child’s
school principal, teacher, or guidance counsellor immediately.
All students, teachers, parents and other school staff
have the right to be safe and to feel safe in their school
community. With this right comes the responsibility to
contribute to a positive school climate. Student engagement,
participation in extra-curricular activities and character
development are important in fostering a positive school
climate that supports student achievement and the
well-being of all students. Schools should also focus on
prevention and early intervention strategies as a key to
maintaining a positive school climate in which students
can learn and teachers can teach.

the Gender-Based Violence Prevention Office, visit

www.tdsb.on.ca
Bullying
The TDSB takes bullying seriously. Bullying shall not be accepted on school property, at school-related activities, on
school buses, or in any other circumstances where this behaviour will have a negative impact on the school climate.
The definition of bullying (including cyber-bullying) is aggressive and typically repeated behaviour (physical, verbal,
electronic, written or other means) by a pupil where:
(a) the behaviour is intended by the pupil to have the effect of, or the pupil ought to know that the behaviour would be likely to have the effect of:
(i) causing harm, fear or distress to another individual, including physical, psychological, social or academic harm, harm to the individual’s reputation or harm to the individual’s property; or
(ii) creating a negative environment at a school for another individual; and
(b)the behaviour occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance between the pupil and the individual based on factors such as size, strength, age, intelligence, peer group power, economic status, social status, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, family circumstances, gender, gender identity, gender expression, race, disability or the receipt of special education;
Cyber-bullying is bullying by electronic means, including:
(a)creating a web page or a blog in which the creator assumes the identity of another person;
(b)impersonating another person as the author of content or messages posted on the internet; and
(c)communicating material electronically to more than one individual or posting material on a website that may be accessed by one or more individuals.
Board Code of Conduct
Incident Reporting
The Board Code of Conduct sets out clear standards of
behaviour. These standards of behaviour apply to
students whether they are on school property, on school
buses, at school-related events or activities, or in other
circumstances that may have an impact on the school
climate. They also apply to all principals, teachers, other
school staff, parents, volunteers, and community groups.
Recent changes to the Education Act require all school
staff to report serious incidents that could lead to suspension
or expulsion (see chart on next pages) to their principal
and that the principal notify parents of victims and
alleged perpetrators when a student has been harmed.
Staff who work directly with students must respond to
serious incidents and inappropriate or disrespectful
behaviour among students.
For more information about the Board Code of
Conduct or your school’s Code of Conduct
please contact your school principal.
Progressive Discipline
When dealing with inappropriate student behaviour, the TDSB promotes the use of progressive discipline. When
inappropriate student behaviour occurs, schools should utilize a range of interventions, supports, and consequences
that are both corrective and supportive in nature. These should be developmentally and socio-emotionally appropriate
and include learning opportunities for reinforcing positive behaviour while helping students to make better choices.

Other Basic Rules, Guidelines and Expectations for Students
In addition to the TDSB Code of Conduct and your school’s own Code of Conduct, the TDSB provides specific guidelines
and expectations for the use of personal communication devices, school board computer systems, and student behaviour
on excursions and at athletic events.
Bring Your Own Devices
(BYOD) in Schools
Code of Online Conduct
The TDSB Code of Online Conduct (PR571) protects
the rights and safety of students and staff who use online
systems and resources, including all material that is
accessed through a TDSB computer or telecommunications network. All of the rules of the TDSB apply when
using its computers and connections, and the Board has
the right to monitor their use.
The Toronto District School Board recognizes the
potential of technology use in the classroom to engage,
enhance, and support student learning.
We understand that students bring their own devices
(BYOD) to school, such as cell phones, personal digital
assistants, smart phones and laptops. This can be an
important way for parents and caregivers to stay connected
and engaged with the learning of their children, as well
as a way to reach each other, when necessary.
It is important to make sure that they are used responsibly,
do not interfere with learning and respect the rights of
others at all times.
Some important tips:
• Never give out information online that someone
could use to find you in person.
• Never give out information about anyone else
without their permission.
• Never share your personal password with anyone.
To learn more, visit your school office or
speak to your principal.
• Never try to impersonate someone else or use
another person’s account on the network.
• TDSB computers are not to be used for any purpose
that is illegal, pornographic, hateful, threatens
someone, or is obviously offensive to an individual
or group. If a message, a picture or anything else
you see on the computer makes you uncomfortable,
tell your teacher immediately.
• Report any computer damage that happens by
accident or on purpose. Consider the others who
use the system. Keep use of the computer and
transfer of files to reasonable amounts of time.
• Misuse of computers or connections can result
in disciplinary action, which may include legal or
police action.
• All web pages hosted or paid for by the TDSB are the property of the TDSB.
See the complete TDSB Code of Online Conduct
(PR571) at www.tdsb.on.ca/students.
Know Your Rights
Every student has the right to feel safe and welcome at
school. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect,
dignity and understanding.
If you hear, see or experience:
• name-calling or threats • unwelcome remarks or slurs
• obscene gestures or jokes
• unwanted touching or sexual bullying
• online harassment • derogatory or offensive materials
• threats of outing someone • intimidation or physical violence
• or anything else that negatively affects an individual or group

Accepting Schools, please go to www.tdsb.on.ca.
Getting the Most Out of
Excursions and Field Trips
Student Athletes Set an
Important Example
Field trips are great learning opportunities for students.
To ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all participants,
students need to follow the TDSB Code of Conduct and
the expectations of their school while off school property
during trips and athletic events.
Athletes are often seen as role models. It is important for
student athletes to promote positive social behaviours and
attitudes in their peers. The TDSB Code of Behaviour for
Athletes describes expectations for students who take part
in TDSB-approved sporting events:
Some Important Things to Remember
• Come prepared and follow the directions of teachers and other supervisors during the
excursion.
• You will not be penalized if you miss any
assignments or tests in other subjects while
on a school excursion. You will be expected to
complete the work within a reasonable time, as
determined by the teacher when you return.
• Board policy prohibits the use of tobacco,
alcohol and non-medicinal drugs at all school
activities – whether they take place on or off school property.
The expectations are outlined fully in the
TDSB Excursion Procedure (PR511)
available online at www.tdsb.on.ca.
• Compete for the enjoyment of the game and the
pursuit of individual as well as team excellence.
• Strive to understand, respect, and follow the rules of the game at all times.
• Demonstrate good sportsmanship and fair play.
• Conduct yourself with honour, dignity, and
self-control.
• Appreciate the efforts of your teammates and
opponents.
• Be generous in victory and gracious in defeat.
• Show respect for authority and decisions of coaches, staff, and officials.
• Respect athletic facilities and property.
• Respect the rights of opponents, teammates, and spectators on both sides.
• Refrain from the use of profanity, taunting, threatening actions and violence at all times.
Religious Accommodation
• Behave in accordance with all TDSB policies.
Students who need accommodations for religious
observances or spiritual practices should speak with
their school principal or vice-principal. Verbal or
written communication from a parent/guardian/
caregiver is required specifying needs relating to
religious or spiritual observances, including holy days
the student is expected to be absent from school. Please
provide this information early in the year to ensure
that scheduling of tests, assignments, or exams can take
religious observances into consideration.
Be Scent Aware
Exposure to perfumes and other scented products can trigger
serious health reactions in those with asthma, allergies,
migraines or chemical sensitivities. Please be considerate to
others who share the learning environment with you, and
reduce the use of fragranced products in your school.
To learn more about the TDSB Scented Products
Awareness Program, speak to your principal or visit
www.tdsb.on.ca.

Getting Involved
Student Councils
Parents Can Get Involved Too
All TDSB schools with Grade 7-12 students are required to
have a student council that is democratically elected. Student
councils represent the voice of the student body of each
school and seek to promote student leadership and engagement.
By the time they reach secondary school, students are
expected to manage their time effectively, complete their
homework and take responsibility for their own success.
However, parents and families play a critical role in a
child’s education at every stage and there are many ways
for parents to stay involved with their school community.
For more information, and to find out how to get
involved, please refer to the updated guidelines in
the SAC Handbook available on the TDSB website.
TDSB Student SuperCouncil
Captivate • Motivate • Initiate
Is there anything in your school you’d like to change?
Do you want to have your voice heard and make a
difference in your school and schools across Toronto?
The TDSB Student SuperCouncil is a group of 20 elected
students from all over TDSB. Our main goal is to bring a
student voice to the Boardroom.
SuperCouncil is inviting you to come out and have your
voice heard. We have quadrant meetings every month,
as well as a number of events that will allow you to speak
your mind and make a real difference.
These events include a leadership retreat for Grade 9 and
10 students where student leaders are invited to get together
and share their ideas, an elections conference where
SuperCouncil executives are elected, and much more. SuperCouncil works with the two Student Trustees who
sit on the Board and represent the student voice. They take
the ideas from quadrant meetings and present the united
student voice to Trustees who vote on the decisions that
affect our schools.
To learn more about how to get involved and
to meet our executives, visit our web site at
www.supercouncil.ca or email
[email protected].
Parents and families have a number of opportunities
to get involved. They can participate in their local School
Council, volunteer within the school, attend Trustee
Ward Forums, join one of the Community Advisory
Committees, or the Parent Involvement Advisory
Committee.
At TDSB, our students speak over 80 languages and
come from almost 175 countries. We welcome students
and families from around the world. Our schools are
responsive to the needs of students/families new to
Canada who may require help adjusting to life in a new
country. For information on identifying a settlement
services or interpretation and translation supports,
contact 416-397-3529.
The TDSB Parent Concern Protocol (PR505) is a tool
for parents to address school and classroom concerns.
The Protocol confirms the responsibility of the Principal,
Superintendent of Education and the Trustee in providing
advice, direction or decision making on parents’ concerns.
To view the Protocol, visit www.tdsb.on.ca/parents.
To learn about parent involvement opportunities,
including available workshops, visit
www.tdsb.on.ca/parents,
call 416-397-3529 or contact your local school.
Community Involvement
Did You Know?
• In order to graduate from high school, you must complete 40 hours of approved community involvement activities.
• These activities must take place outside of class time, beginning in the summer before you start grade 9 until March of your graduating year. • You need to complete these hours in places that are in keeping with the TDSB approved list (available at www.tdsb.on.ca)
and approved by your principal.
• You need to complete a Community Involvement Passport and have signatures from someone in the community.
Don’t Wait – Start Today!
To find out more, speak to your guidance counsellor, home room teacher, or visit www.tdsb.on.ca.
Learning and More
Homework
Homework is an important part of learning for all students.
TDSB has an established Homework Policy (P036)
founded on sound teaching and learning practice, current
research, TDSB Student Census data, and extensive
consultation with parents, educators, and the community.
It moves away from traditional time-by-grade guidelines
to emphasize assignments that reflect the unique learning
needs of individual students.
Why homework?
• Relevant, topical homework assignments
promote high quality student learning, mastery and achievement, especially in secondary school.
•Homework encourages students to develop
independent, effective study habits that nurture a lifelong love of learning.
What is appropriate homework?
•Homework is part of a positive learning
experience and not intended to be punitive.
•Homework is curriculum-based with a direct
link to topics or skills that have been taught in class, and enhance student learning.
•Homework is clear so students understand what they are expected to do for each homework
assignment.
How much is the right amount of homework?
•Students in Grades 9 - 12 should expect to
complete up to two hours of homework per
evening.
•Homework should meet the developmental
needs and abilities of individual students, and
be modified, when necessary.
•Homework is designed so that families can
balance the time needed to complete homework with extra-curricular activities scheduled outside
of the school day (for example, activities that support personal and family wellness).
• Homework will not be assigned on scheduled
holidays as outlined in the School Year Calendar
on Religious Holy Days.
What are students’ responsibilities around homework?
• Recording homework in their agenda or planner,
and making sure they clearly understand the
homework expectations.
• Asking their teacher for clarification or help
when tasks or expectations are not clear, or if
they have a time conflict because of homework
assignments in several different subjects.
• Managing their time and materials responsibly.
• Regularly completing assigned homework in a timely manner, to the best of their abilities.
How can parents support student learning?
• Parents can help by talking to children about
their homework and ensuring that homework
time is part of a regular, scheduled routine.
• Parents can help by making sure students have a learning space at home.
•Stay in touch. Schools should communicate with parents in many ways throughout the school year about the purpose and goals of homework,
including at curriculum nights, parent-teacher conferences, School Council meetings and through student agendas, newsletters and websites.
• Homework assignments may be designed to
involve parents and guardians in supporting
their children’s learning, however homework will not require them to teach concepts.
Please review our Academic Honesty Procedure
(PR613) and Late and Missed Assignments
Procedure (PR614) at www.tdsb.on.ca.
Student Accident Insurance
The TDSB does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that take place on school property or
during school sponsored activities.
For information on how to purchase accident insurance coverage for your child, visit
www.insuremykids.com or call toll free at 1-800-463-KIDS (5437).

Many Pathways to Success
E-Learning Expands Opportunities
Earning a high school diploma is a critical step to
your future success, but there are many pathways to
graduation. Whether your destination is workplace,
college, university, or apprenticeship, the TDSB offers
a broad range of secondary programs and learning
opportunities that let you choose the path that matches
your strengths, interests and career goals.
Specialized programs that focus on Arts, Math &
Science, Technology, Experiential Learning, flexible online
learning and Dual Credit opportunities, Skills Enhanced
and Specialist High Skills Majors and many other
choices are yours to explore.
Diploma Requirements
To receive a secondary school diploma, students must
complete the literacy requirement (Ontario Secondary
School Literacy Test or Ontario Literacy Course), as well
as 40 hours of community involvement. Students must earn
a total of 30 credits, including 18 compulsory credits and
12 optional credits.
To learn more about your options and
Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements,
visit www.tdsb.on.ca/choices.
Secondary Night and Summer Programs
TDSB offers night and summer school programs that
provide secondary students and adults with opportunities
to earn credits, develop literacy skills and complete diploma
requirements. We also offer parent workshops. Check in
with your home school to find out what’s happening this
year. E-Learning is one more way for students who excel in a
flexible learning environment to take credit courses that
may not be available in your OSR (home) school or to
help resolve a timetable conflict. TDSB e-Learning offers
a range of courses primarily at the senior level (Grades 11
and 12). The courses and online classroom are provided
by the Ministry of Education through e-Learning Ontario,
taught by TDSB secondary teachers. They’ll appear on your
timetable and your transcript.
Speak to your Guidance Counsellor or visit
www.tdsb.on.ca/elearning to find out more.
Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition (PLAR)
PLAR is a “challenge” that allows students to earn secondary
school diploma credits for learning they’ve done outside the
classroom. TDSB students may request a formal evaluation
of their skills and knowledge against the expectations
outlined in the Ontario curriculum for current Grades 10,
11 and 12 courses taught in TDSB schools.
Through the PLAR process, students may “challenge” for one
credit per year and earn no more than four credits including
a maximum of two credits in any one discipline.
To learn more about PLAR and how to apply
for a formal evaluation, contact your
guidance counselor.

Health and Wellness
Finding Help When You Need It
Immunization For Students
Research shows that as many as one in five children and
youth experience emotional stress that can make it hard
to focus on school work. Students who struggle with
feelings of depression, anxiety, anger or confusion are
not alone.
School social workers and attendance counsellors
understand and we’re here to help students overcome
obstacles to success. Whether personal, family or school
related, concerns can range from bullying to substance
abuse, from questions about sexuality to difficulty adapting
in a new culture. We offer a wide range of services,
including individual or group counselling, as well as
helping to connect students with outside supports.
To connect with your school social worker,
speak to a teacher, advisor, guidance counsellor
or your principal.
For more information about our services, visit
www.socialwork.tdsb.on.ca.
Vision Testing Is Important
Did you know that one in six children and young people
have vision problems? Undetected vision problems impact
learning – to see the blackboard clearly, read a book and
fully participate in class activities.
Regular vision examinations are part of being ready for
school. Annual eye exams for children and youth under
20 is covered by OHIP.
To learn more, visit www.tdsb.on.ca.
To find the name of an optometrist near you, visit
www.eyecareoao.com or call 1-800-540-3837.
It is the law in Ontario for all children attending school to be
immunized against communicable diseases, or to provide
a valid exemption as regulated by The Immunization of
School Pupils Act (ISPA). Each year, Toronto Public Health
reviews the immunization records of all TDSB students
to assess if mandatory vaccines have been received, or if a
valid exemption is on file.
Primary students need to be up-to-date with the complete
series of vaccinations that protect against diphtheria, tetanus,
polio, measles, mumps, and rubella. Secondary students need
a booster vaccine in adolescence (usually between ages 14
and 16) to maintain protection against diphtheria and tetanus.
This is a combination vaccine that also protects against
pertussis (or whooping cough).
To protect the health of all, students who are not
up-to-date or have not provided a valid exemption may
be suspended from school. Clinics are offered by Toronto
Public Health for students who are hav­ing difficulty
accessing vaccination services.
Many other immunizations are recommended but not
required for school attendance. These include vaccines
against chicken pox, pneumococcal disease, haemophilus
influenzae B, meningococcal disease, hepatitis B,
whooping cough and human papillomavirus. For more
information see the Ministry of Health and Long-term
care Publicly Funded Immunization Schedule
www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/
immun/pdf/schedule.pdf.

or call the Toronto Public Health Immunization
Information Line at 416-392-1250.
Be Scent Aware
Exposure to perfumes and other scented products can trigger serious health reactions in those with asthma, allergies,
migraines or chemical sensitivities. Please be considerate to others who share the learning environment with you, and reduce
the use of fragranced products in your school.

CELL PHONE & ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY
Technology has changed the educational environment in many positive ways. However, as new
technologies continue to expand, they also bring new challenges to maintaining a safe, caring and orderly
learning environment—one of maximizing the educational benefits while minimizing the negative impact
of this same technology.
Teachers must be able to teach and assist students, and students must be able to learn, in an environment
free of distraction and interruption. Students receive an academic advantage when they give their full
attention to the instructional program during the entire class period.
The Toronto District School Board policy regarding personal electronic devices (cell phone, music player,
iPod, video camera, electronic tablets, etc.) states:
Personal electronic devices may be used during instructional class time for educational purposes, if
permitted by the teacher;
Personal electronic devices may be used outside of instructional class time, so long as the use of these
devices does not distract from instructional class time or co-curricular activities.
Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted in any classroom or any other instructional area except
as outlined in the preceding policy statement.
Exams: Students are not allowed to use personal electronic devices during examinations.
Personal electronics in a lockdown: A lockdown in a school is an emergency situation. It is natural that
students and staff may want to communicate during these times; however, it is equally important that
emergency personnel have access to phone lines. In many situations of this magnitude, phone lines get
jammed through the excessive use of cell phones, preventing emergency personnel from communicating
effectively. For these reasons cell phone use is discouraged during a lockdown. In emergency situations
the office provides full and immediate electronic communication to students, staff and parents/guardians
through the school and Board website.
Expectation of Privacy
Recording, electronic transmission, or posting of photographic images of any person on school property,
at school events, and during school activities and/or hours, is prohibited without the permission of: 1) the
person or persons being photographed; 2) the Principal or designate; and 3) where the student is below the
age of 18 years, the consent of the parent/guardian.
Cyber Harassment
Electronic posting or transmission of comments, discussions, photographs or images which are known or
should reasonably be known to be hurtful to a member of the school community is not acceptable and will
be dealt with as a form of harassment.
Loss / Theft
The school cannot assume responsibility for lost or stolen electronic devices. In the event of such
occurrence, students need to complete a report in the VP Office.
Students who fail to comply with the Personal Electronics Policy as outlined above will face
consequences.
CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE
If a student has been absent for fifteen consecutive scheduled classes in a course without
appropriate supporting medical documentation, the pupil must be withdrawn from the course on the
day immediately following the last day of attendance.
“Regular attendance in school is critical for students’ learning and achievement of course expectations.
Teachers and administration frequently review student attendance patterns. If, in the school Principal’s
judgement, a student’s frequent absences from school are jeopardizing his/her successful completion of a
course, the staff will communicate with the student and parent/guardian to explain the potential
consequences of the absences, including failure to gain credits. They will also discuss steps that could be
taken to improve the student’s attendance.” Ontario Ministry of Education Policy Statements
There is a strong correlation between student attendance and achievement. Both the school and the
parent/guardian must be able to document that any student absences are for legitimate reasons.
Attendance in classes at Central Technical School is mandatory for all students.
Absence
Q: What happens if I am absent from school?
The school must receive a telephone call from a parent/guardian that morning. Please call 416-3930070, extension 21000.
Students returning from an absence must bring a note signed by a parent/guardian or doctor. The note
should indicate the student’s name, the reason for the absence, and the date(s) of the absence. Students
are required to have each of their teachers sign the note. The student then submits the note to the
Attendance Office after school on the day of their return. Students 18 years or older may write their
own notes and present them directly to each teacher.
Absence of 5 days or more requires a medical note.
Absence from class without a legitimate reason is not acceptable.
For all grade 9 students there will be an automated telephone call home before noon.
At the end of the day there will be an automated telephone call home for all other absences.
Lateness
Q: What happens if I am late for school?
You are responsible for arriving in class, prepared to work, ON TIME. If you are not on time for class,
even a few minutes, you will be recorded as “late”. Students report directly to class; the teacher will
mark them late.
Sign-Outs
Q: What if I have to leave the school during the day?
Go to room 266 before 8:50 a.m. or during lunch. You must have a predetermined reason (such as a
doctor or dental appointment). Students who need to sign out of school due to a sudden emergency
(such as personal illness) must report to the Attendance Office room 266.
Study Period
Q: What if I have a spare (non-assigned period)?
Students may work in the library or cafeteria; students may not be in the halls/stairwells during class
time.
CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL
ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND REPORTING OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Due Dates
Due dates apply to assignments, projects, presentations and tests. When a teacher assigns a project, test or
other work to be submitted for evaluation the teacher will announce the due dates.
Students are responsible for submitting work for evaluation by the due date. Students do not have an
automatic right to submit work late. Should the need arise students must advise their teacher before the
due date of any challenge which would prevent the submission. The teacher will make the decision about
a possible revised due date based on the individual situation.
Students must understand that there are consequences for incomplete, late, missing assignments and/or
tests. When strategies have been tried and failed to encourage on-time submissions of work, marks may
be deducted up to and including the full value of the assignment.
Involvement in school-related activities is not an automatic justification for an extension of the due date.
Plagiarism and Cheating
Plagiarism is copying, reproducing or paraphrasing any portions of someone else’s work without
acknowledging the original source. This includes: another person, themselves, books, print materials,
using information from the Internet or other electronic sites without acknowledging the source.
Students who plagiarize or cheat on school work will receive ‘0’ (zero) for the work and may be
suspended.
Summative Evaluation
Note: Final Evaluations are worth 30% of the final mark. Your course may end with:
an exam
a summative project
a combination of both
Exams
Exam dates and times for all courses are set out in the exam schedule which is distributed to students and
parents/guardians. We are not able to accommodate any changes to the exam schedule or requests to write
an exam at a date/time other than the scheduled date/time shown. Examination days are indicated on the
calendar in this agenda. It is your responsibility to be informed!
1. Students are required to be present for all scheduled summative evaluations.
2. Students who must be absent must present a medical certificate or a court order to the Principal (room
201) before the end of the exam period.
3. A student who for any other reason does not write the final examination will be assigned an
examination mark of zero.
4. Students are responsible for knowing where and when their examinations are being written.
5. Students with an examination conflict (three examinations on the same day or two at the same time)
must report the conflict to room 266 for alternative arrangements.
6. Students who arrive up to 15 minutes late for an examination will be admitted, but will not be given
extra time. If a student is more than 15 minutes late for an exam, he/she will be sent to the office.
CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL
ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND REPORTING OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Report Cards
Teachers report student achievement through Provincial Report Cards. Four (4) Provincial Report Cards
are issued per academic year. For semestered courses, there will be one mid-term and one final report
card. For non-semestered courses such as the Art and Tech majors, there will be three interims and one
final report card.
Interim Progress Letters are also issued in October and March.

from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This is a chance for parents and guardians to meet
teachers to discuss their child’s progress. All parents/guardians and students are encouraged to attend.
Full Disclosure
All marks for Grade 11 and 12 courses will appear on the student’s Ontario Student Transcript. If
students do not want a mark to appear, then they must drop the course within the five days after
the first formal reporting period (midterm report card). If special circumstances apply after this drop
date, a percentage grade is still recorded, even if the course is dropped.
CENTRAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL
PARTICIPATION IN CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
CTS offers a variety of co-curricular activities. Each year programs are offered based on staff and student
interest. It is expected that students who participate in co-curricular activities and/or represent our school
on teams, are in regular attendance in their classes and are working towards meeting the course
expectations as outlined by their teachers.
Student attendance is regularly monitored by classroom teachers, coaches and vice-principals. Students
who fail to be in regular attendance risk losing the privilege to participate in school activities. It is the
student’s responsibility to communicate with teachers, coaches and attendance monitors when
circumstances have prevented them from attending a class. All absences must be documented. In cases
where students have missed classes their co-curricular privileges may be suspended.
PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS
Responsibility and Guidelines for Student Athletes
Being a member of a school team is a privilege and carries with it certain responsibilities that all student
athletes must meet.
Student Athletes:
1. Abide by and adhere to the TDSSAA Code of Behaviour as outlined by your coaches at the start of
your season.
2. Consider athletic opponents and officials as guests and treat them as such.
3. Respect the rights of students and staff from opposing schools.
4. Respect the rights of all spectators.
5. Respect the property of the school and the authority of school officials.
6. Respect the official’s decisions.
7. Show self-control at all times during and after the game.
8. Are modest in victory and gracious in defeat.
9. Consider it a privilege and a duty to encourage everyone (players and spectators alike) to live up to the
spirit of the rules of fair play and sportsmanship.
Commitment to a School Team
Since it is a privilege to be on a school team, student athletes also have a commitment to the team once
they have been selected:
Student Athletes MUST complete their season. Quitting a team is unacceptable as it lets your
teammates and coach down. You have also taken the spot on the team, which would otherwise have
been filled by someone else.
In special circumstances with the permission of both coaches, a student athlete may be a member of
two (2) teams during the same season. Both coaches must meet if there is a conflict between the two
schedules. It is unacceptable to quit either team ANY time during the season.
If a student athlete quits a team ANY time during the season, he/she will not be allowed to
participate on a school team the following sport season.
Cont’d.
Student Athlete Academic Code of Conduct
Each student athlete that participates on an athletic team at Central Technical School must be in regular
attendance. Attendance in all classes will be monitored on a weekly basis. This policy will be governed
on a strike system described below:
Strike 1
Student is absent from class(es)
Consequence: Student is given a formal warning that any further infraction will result in
missed games
Strike 2
Student continues to be absent during the second monitoring period during a season.
Consequence: Student must miss the next scheduled league game.
Strike 3
Student fails to attend during a third monitoring period.
Consequence: Student must miss the next 2 scheduled league games.
Strike 4
Student continues to be absent.
Consequence: Student is removed from the team permanently.
Code of Conduct for Spectators
Spectators are an important aspect of school athletics. The attendance of students, parents, guardians,
family members, and members of the community serves to compliment the experience of all those
involved in sporting competitions.
It is expected that spectators will:
Cheer in a positive manner
