Herndon Elementary SOL Schedule

The Virginia SOLs for next week are: 5th Gr. Math Day 1 on Monday, June 5th and 5th Gr. Math Day 2 and 5th Advanced Math on Tuesday, June 6th.  These tests give us important information about the skills your student has mastered and where they might need more assistance from us as a school.  Parents, we ask you to support your student during this time by making sure they get a good night’s sleep the night before, a good breakfast the day of the test, and to avoid scheduling appointments.  Thank you so much!

During SOL testing, lunch times for students in grade 3-6 may change to accommodate grade levels who are testing on a particular day.  This lunch schedule will go through June 6th.  Thank you!
