Attendance May 2 – June 7
During
AP, IB and SOL testing at high schools from May 2, 2016 through June 7,
2016 the morning attendance telephone calls, texts and e-mails to home for
reporting a student’s absence will not occur. This temporary suspension
reflects the fact that students are often in designated testing sites within
the school during the normal attendance-taking time. The evening attendance
telephone calls and e-mails will still remain in place.
AP Testing is Underway!
AP Testing Schedule: http://www.fcps.edu/OaktonHS/forms/testing/AP%20testing%20schedule%202016.pdf
AP Testing Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.fcps.edu/OaktonHS/testing_ap.html
**Students are reminded the only
materials that can be brought into the testing room are several pens and
non-mechanical pencils and a calculator if applicable. Everything else,
including cell phones, smartwatches, water bottles, backpacks, pencil cases,
and tissues, needs to be left in a locker or at home. You cannot bring
backpacks into the rooms! We do not have space for them in any testing location.**
Students should arrive by 7:45 for morning exams and 11:45 for
afternoon exams. Late arrivals will not be allowed to test. Traffic is not an
excuse for missing a test! If you are very sick on the day of the test and
cannot make it in, you must email acalvello@fcps.edu
and myrodeheaver@fcps.edu the day of
your exam.
Many of the afternoon exams will run to 4 pm. Students should have
alternate transportation home if they have an afternoon test. Teachers should
be communicating with students about the length for specific exams.
SOL Testing
Next Wednesday, we start SOL testing. Later this week, students will
get letters from one of their teachers regarding the location of each of their
exams.
Please note that our bell schedule is modified for some of the test
days; the full schedule can be found on our
website.
If a student misses an SOL test, then he/she should plan to attend one
of the makeup dates: May 31 for English and social studies, and June 1 for math
or science.
If you have any questions about SOL testing, you can email Martha
Rodeheaver at myrodeheaver@fcps.edu.
Tutoring in the Cafeteria!
The Center will be tutoring in the cafeteria during all Cougar Times and
after-school Wednesdays for the month of May while the Library and other
locations are closed for testing.
Graduation Requirements for NHS

their dues and hours handed into Mrs. Kimberly Stewart or Mrs. Judy Manilli in
order to receive their stole for graduation. The NHS fee is $25 cash or check

complete 24hrs community service prior to graduation in order to be eligible
for the stole. Seniors with a one year membership (inducted in 2015-2016 school
year) must complete 8 hrs prior to graduation in order to be eligible for the
stole. All service hours should be submitted to the Burgundy Office. Inquiries
regarding current hours should be directed toward Mrs. Stewart or Mrs. Manilli.
It is imperative for accurate reporting and to ensure all students receive
