The Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) says secondary school exams are scheduled to resume on Tuesday, after being cancelled on Friday and Monday.
LKDSB released a revised exam schedule just before 10:30 a.m. on January 26.
The board said "after carefully considering student wellbeing and a thorough review of multiple factors, the following is the revised exam schedule for Semester 1 for all Lambton Kent District School Board secondary schools."
• Period A Exams: Tuesday, January 27
• Period B Exams: Wednesday, January 28
• Period C Exams: Thursday, January 29
• Period D Exams: Monday, February 2
LKDSB said a PA Day originally scheduled for Friday, January 30 will remain as planned and Semester 2 will now begin on Tuesday, February 3.
"This decision was made carefully and intentionally, following a thorough review of operational logistics, and system-wide implications. It was important that the decision be applied consistently across the entire board to ensure clarity, fairness, and stability for all students, staff, and families," the board said in a media release.
"Maintaining this structure also ensures that students are not required to write two exams in a single day, supporting their wellbeing and academic success. In addition, this adjustment reflects what is best for our students and families, many of whom have already made essential arrangements based on the scheduled PA Day," the notice added.
The St. Clair Catholic District School Board (SCCDSB) held Period 1 exams of St. Patrick's Catholic High School in Sarnia on Monday.
In Chatham, Ursuline College Period 1 exams were rescheduled for Tuesday, January 27.
