Please see the linked letter below from the Minister of Education, Rob Fleming, regarding changes to the implementation schedule for the new graduation program.
Re: Changes to the New Curriculum Implementation Schedule for Grades 10–12 (PDF)
The following excerpt is taken from the letter linked above.
When is it changing?
Grade 11–12 curriculum will be fully implemented in September 2019, one year later than previously planned.
The Grade 10 curriculum will be implemented as planned in September 2018.
The new Provincial Literacy Graduation Assessment will be moved to align with the new Grade 11 and 12 curriculum implementation, with the first assessment scheduled for January 2020.
As previously planned, the Provincial Numeracy Graduation Assessment will be taken for the first time in January 2018 as part of a staged roll-out, with another session in June 2018.

How will this change affect me?
Students currently in Grade 9 and younger will continue their learning with the new curriculum throughout their graduation years. Students in this group will participate in the 2018 Graduation Program, and take the new graduation assessments.
Students currently in Grade 10 may take the Provincial Numeracy Assessment starting in January 2018, and they will take the Provincial Literacy Assessment in January, June or August 2020.
Students currently in Grade 11 will continue on the current curriculum and will take the new Numeracy Assessment prior to graduation.
Students currently in Grade 12 will not be affected by these changes, and will continue to work towards completion using the 2004 Graduation Program requirements.
