Admission

PACE Outreach School is designed for students 16-20 years of age. A student must be 19 or younger as of September 1st of the current school year to be eligible to attend. A 15 year old student may be accepted into the program as long as he/she turns 16 before completion of the school year. Prior to acceptance into the program a student who is currently registered at another school is required to do the following:

1. A completed outreach application form is required and given to the traditional school. The traditional school, not PACE Outreach, determines who is a suitable outreach student.
2. The student must participate in an interview with the teacher and caseworker to determine suitability for the program.
3. The student must agree, in writing, to abide by the regulations as outlined in the student contract.
4. Outreach staff will make the final decision on the individual students acceptability into the program.

Student Evaluation

At the beginning of the term, all students in high school courses will receive a course outline. The course outline will give a brief description of the course content, time lines indicating when topics are covered, potential credits, examination procedures, and how marks will be determined. Student evaluation is the sole responsibility of the teacher.

Each student has the right to appeal all final marks. Such an appeal should be made to the teacher. If the student is still not satisfied with the mark, the mark may be appealed, in writing, to the principal. Such an appeal must be made within three days of the receipt of the mark.

Examinations

Non-diploma exams are written in class at a mutually agreed upon time.

PACE is a writing centre for all diploma exams written in January and in June. Pending Division approval, PACE also acts as a writing centre in August.

Earning Credits

To earn credit in any high school course, the student must achieve at least 50%.
