Students who will be observing Ramadan may be given the option to test at the beginning of the spring SOL window (May 7-15) to avoid testing during the holiday. Parents of students observing Ramadan, if you wish for your child to test at the beginning of the SOL window (May 7 – 15), please contact the Director of Student Services, Michele Beard mbeard@fcps.edu by Monday, April 30th.
