Testing Update –
- SOL Schedule –
- May 11 – Math 7/8
- May 13 – Science 8
- May 15 – Reading 7/8
- SOL Retakes –
- The state allows elementary and middle school students who fail a spring SOL test to have another attempt before the end of the school year. Parent/guardian permission is required for the school to retest any student in grades 3-8. A decision not to allow retesting will not impact your student’s course grade or academic record.
- If you believe your student would benefit from a second opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skills on the spring SOL test, submit your decision using the Parent Digital Consent application (https://www.fcps.edu/family-resources/technology/digital-resources/consent ). This application uses your SIS ParentVUE login. If you don’t have a SIS ParentVUE Account, please contact Amber Wickstrom (akwickstrom@fcps.edu) for a paper copy.
- Expedited Retakes will be May 28 – June 1
- Please reach out to the Amber Wickstrom (School Testing Coordinator) with any questions,
