(01/17/2011) Change to Lisgar January Exam ScheduleDear Parents and Students:We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our latest revision to our Lisgar Exam Schedule. Lisgar, like a number of other schools, was following a procedure that had been accepted practice in the past. This was the procedure we used last spring when we set our schedule for the 2010 - 2011 school year. All these schools were recently informed that this practice is not compliant with Ministry of Education directives and all were required to make a necessary change. At Lisgar, this was done in the least disruptive manner by extending the study time available for the first day exam writers. All other exams remain at their previously posted time. Good luck on all exams. David McMahon Lisgar Health ClinicA Nurse Practitioner is available to students on every second Monday, (check with the Main Office for dates), from 12:30pm to 3:30pm, for episodic illnesses (colds, flu, injuries), STI testing and birth control options.
