IMPORTANT
SOL TESTING INFORMATION
Our students grades 3-6 will take the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL
Tests) starting tomorrow, May 8, 2018. It will be very
helpful if you can avoid appointments which may take your child out of school
during this time period. Also, it will help your child to perform his or
her best if he or she has had a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast and
comes to school with a positive attitude.
We are aware that Ramadan does begin during this window. If
your child will be fasting during this time and you would like to discuss
possible testing adjustments, please contact your child's teacher.
Electronics Device Policy During SOL Testing
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 wearable technology,
including but not limited to Apple Watch and 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.
