Class of 2027 DP Calendar (2025-2027)
Regular assessment is a part of learning. The primary purpose of assessment is to inform the teaching & learning process and improve student learning outcomes. Unit tests, quizzes or smaller assignments will be communicated with students through PowerSchool in consultation with the deadlines on this calendar.
This calendar includes details of IA drafts, deadlines and any other significant assessment and dates for DP. It has been put together to help plan ahead for busy periods in the year so that students can manage their time more effectively. Although we try to stick to these dates, please bear in mind that they are subject to revision as we move through the year.
Formatting Guide
- Bold Red = Final deadlines
- Plain text drafts or other significant data points
- Bold text applies to all or most students.
- Tasks should be labeled in the following format: “Subject Level Task” If a task applies to both HL & SL, only state the subject.
- Yellow = No assessments
- Grey = No lessons
Teacher Support Guidelines
To support students, teachers will:
- Try to ensure that only one major assessment is on any given day.
- Try to avoid scheduling important assessments on the same day as another major deadline.
- Avoid setting assessments or deadlines on assessment moratorium days.
- Try to minimize situations assessments on consecutive days
- Avoid scheduling assessments or deadlines on yellow or gray days.
