Absences During Tests or Final Examinations
As per Alberta Education examination policy;
“A student may only be excused from tests or examinations for reasons of illness or emergencies such as death in the family. During the school year if a student is repeatedly absent on test days, he or she may be required to provide a doctor's certificate. A doctor's certificate is required for any missed final examination. While parents can excuse students
from attendance for illness, parents cannot excuse them for a student`s commitment to completing the basic requirements of Alberta Education. Vacations and other personal reasons are not legitimate excuses for missing exams.”
