What Should Students Do With Cell Phones and
Other Personal Devices During SOL Tests?
Fairfax County Public Schools has a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy that
encourages students to use their own personal electronic devices (such as
laptops, tablets, and cell phones) during the school day to enhance learning.
At the same time, FCPS has an obligation to guarantee a secure test environment
during Standards of Learning (SOL) testing.
The Virginia Department of Education requires that
schools restrict student access to cell phones and other personal electronic
devices during SOL tests. These restrictions are designed to maintain test
security and to minimize potential distractions while students are taking
tests.
View these tips to help your child avoid SOL testing
issues related to personal electronic devices.
