Hello Grade 7 Families:

Burnaby South Secondary has recently decided to offer Grade 8 Honours classes in the subject areas of Math, Science, English and Social Studies for the upcoming school year.

All of our Grade 7 students/families who chose one of our Honours Classes have already been sent an email regarding this testing information.  If you applied for any Honours Courses for September, to please check your email about this Honours testing information.

It is important for students to know that they will ONLY be able to write those Honours Assessments that they originally applied for in February & will be unable to write additional Honours Assessments if they were not on their original requests.

Due to the limited spaces in their Honours courses, students will be doing an assessment to determine placement into these courses for September 2021. 

With covid-19 restrictions in place, all students will be doing an ONLINE assessment at HOME.  Students will be using their Burnaby School District Microsoft Teams account to login and complete the assessment(s).

Students will be required to complete a practice online assessment between Friday June 4 and Sunday June 6 before being allowed to participate in the actual assessment(s).  The date and time of the actual online assessments are listed below:

Science: Monday June 7 at 7:00 pm

Math: Monday June 7 at 7:30 pm

English: Tuesday June 8 at 7:00 pm

Socials: Tuesday June 8 at 7:30 pm
