GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Grade 11 Numeracy Assessments
Reminder for all grade 11 students to check the exam schedule to find out when your Numeracy Assessment is scheduled.
TODAY is the last day to sign up at the office for an alternate time to write your numeracy assessment due to either a conflict (if you have another exam schedule for the same time) or as a walk-in (if you did not have a grade 11 math class this year).
Exam Week
The exam schedule is posted on the Claremont website. Please triple check your exam times and be sure to bring all appropriate exam supplies with you: pens, pencils, erasers, and calculator.
Request for Exam Week
Royal Oak Middle School would like to remind Claremont students that our Exam Week is for studying and writing exams... not for visiting your former middle school teachers. Please respect ROMS' request and stay away from their school during exam week.
