SOL TESTING
VDOE and Fairfax
County Public Schools (FCPS) have an electronic device policy which is to be
followed during all SOL testing. To maintain test security, the possession
of cell phones or other electronic devices (including wearable technology) 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 & Responsibilities, have authority
to search the “item of personal belonging” (e.g., the cell phone or other
device, including wearable technology) 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. Students should consider leaving these devices at
home on
Students will be using their FCPSOn Devices for SOL testing. Students will need
to bring a fully charged laptop and power charger the day before each SOL test. While
in the testing location, these devices may be used for SOL testing ONLY.
Accessing other websites, programs, social media, emails, or network
folders is prohibited and is subject to the same consequences stated above.
While the main testing
window is from Tuesday, May 15 through Thursday, May 24, this policy
applies to all make ups and retakes as well.
