To all students, parents and guardians:
Re: Cancellation of January 2022 Diploma Exams
The Government of the Northwest Territories has cancelled January 2022 diploma exams across the NWT, citing last week's decision to postpone school re-openings and the evolving COVID-19 landscape as reasons why. This announcement, which is in line with Alberta's approach, only applies to January tests. Decisions around April and June diploma exams and the Alberta Achievement Tests will be made at a later date.
Students who were scheduled to write exams this month will instead receive an exemption, and their school mark will stand for 100 percent of their overall mark. Students who intended to write January exams will have the option to do so during the April or June sessions, as available.
