Attendance Now Counts in Grades | Canada News
Description
Starting in 2026-2027, high school grades will be directly tied to attendance—ninth and tenth graders get 15% of their final mark from showing up, eleventh and twelfth graders get 10%. The province’s bold move aims to reverse declining attendance by making absences count academically, with unexcused misses (like skipping more than 25% of class) risking course failure. Excused absences—illness, family trips, sports—still stand. The message? Show up, stay engaged, or your grade will reflect it.
