Carson MS SOL Testing Information

Parents,

We are resending our SOL testing information previously shared. Our upcoming SOL window information is included below. There are time sensitive links below that we ask you to complete if applicable.

Your child will be taking one or more Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) End-of-Course Tests between May 11th and May 24th.

Friday, May 11 – Civics 8

Monday, May 14 – Reading 8

Tuesday, May 15– Reading 7

If you become aware of an unavoidable conflict that could result in your child missing a testing day, please notify our testing coordinator, Esther Ferrell ELFerrell@fcps.edu, as soon as possible.

RAMADAN - All requests for date accommodations should be submitted via this link before  Monday, April 30th.

This year Ramadan will fall during the testing window.  All testing will be started in the morning, when we feel all students will be able to do their best on all assessments.  There are no tests given in the afternoon. If you feel that your child will not be able to test during the window and will need to test earlier that week, we will need to plan for testing before May 11th.  Please understand that teachers may not be finished with curriculum review if your student tests early.  You may notify our testing coordinator by completing this form to request an early accommodation for Ramadan. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMyymB16HaYoNe66-mA5qcHkeIkl-d0USOnrg_9OlsaP4njw/viewform
