Testing will begin promptly at 8:15am; students arriving late may not be able to test, so please make sure your child is on time on the days of their tests. We will hold test sessions if there is a late bus. Students who are absent for a test will take it during a makeup test session.
Expedited Retakes are available for students who do not pass, but score a 375-399 on an SOL. In order to take the SOL again, parent permission is required.
More importantly, a reminder that your child is more than a test score to all of us. At this time of year we cheer the kids on and are very clear that this is another opportunity to show all that they have learned! We know they will do AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who sent in treats for the kids so we can celebrate their effort at the end of each testing day!
Let's make is an AWESOME week,
Melissa Reams
