During 9:00 am Parent Coffee on Friday, April 20th, we will look at some released testing items and discuss how to help your child prepare for these upcoming tests. Presented by Laura Hibdon, ESOL Teacher at Annandale Terrace.
Math & Science Night for K-5 is scheduled on Friday, April 20th from 5:30 -7:00 p.m. We will have fun hands-on science and math activities for the whole family! Shuttle bus service will be provided for the community to and from school for this event. Please see the flyer that was sent home in Wednesday folder for bus schedules and locations.

VDOE and
Fairfax County Public Schools have an electronic device policy which is to be
followed during all SOL testing. To maintain test security, the possession of
these devices (e.g., cell phones/mobile communication devices, Apple Watch,
FitBit) in the testing room is prohibited. If a student is discovered with a
prohibited electronic device while in a test environment, the student’s test
will be stopped, the electronic device will be confiscated, and the student
will be removed from the test environment. School administrators, consistent
with the Acceptable Use Policy and Student Rights and Responsibilities, have
authority to search the “item of personal belonging” (e.g., the cell phone or
mobile device) if it is believed to contain evidence of a violation of school
regulations (in this case, cheating). School administrators have the right to
apply school-based consequences based upon their investigation of the
situation. Please talk to your student about the electronic device policy and
the serious consequences of violating it.
As we head towards the month of May and VA Standards of Learning (SOL) tests (grades 3-5), we wanted to provide our Annandale Terrace community with some review/practice resources.

This spring, students in grades 3-8 will take a computer adaptive Standards of Learning (SOL) test for both reading and mathematics. Computer adaptive testing (CAT) is an assessment model that provides a customized test experience for each student. Each CAT assessment begins with a question of moderate difficulty. A correct response leads to a more difficult question, while an incorrect response leads to a less difficult question.
Since question difficulty is tailored to each student's responses, CAT assessments can measure a student's performance with fewer total questions than are needed with a traditional assessment. All students complete the same number of questions for the overall test.
Learn more about computer
adaptive testing in FCPS.

Practice Suggestions for SOL Tests can be found here.
Please join us at Chuckie Cheese located at 9404 Main St. Fairfax, VA 22031 on April 26th from 4:00PM-9:00PM. Proceeds benefit ATES PTA.
