8th Grade Writing SOL: March 12 and 13 - The Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Grade 8 Writing Test on March 12 and 13. It is important that your student attend school on these days. If possible, please avoid scheduling trips or appointments that would take your child out of school during this time period. It is also important that your child have a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast before testing. If you become aware of an unavoidable conflict that could result in your child missing a testing day, please notify your student’s counselor as soon as possible.
The English Writing Standards of Learning (SOL) test has two components: multiple choice response and a short paper response. In order to obtain a score, your child must complete both components.
The purpose of SOL testing is to provide information about student achievement to the parent, school, school division, and state. In most cases, test scores are available for parents by the end of the school year. More information about how and when you will receive your student’s scores will be shared closer to these dates. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah N’Guessan at senguessan@fcps.edu.
Glasgow PTA Meeting: March 12 - Glasgow’s International Baccalaureate, or IB, program will be highlighted at the March 12 PTA Meeting. We will hear information presented by Middle Years Program Coordinator at Glasgow and the IB Coordinator at Justice High School. Mark you calendar! All are welcome.
