8th Grade Writing SOL Testing
Eighth grade students will be taking the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Grade 8 Writing test on Wednesday, March 6 and Thursday, March 7. The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) requires that all students in grade 8 take the English: Writing Standards of Learning (SOL) test. The test has two components: multiple choice response and short paper response. In order to obtain a score, your child must complete both components. If school is delayed or closed on either day due to inclement weather, students will test on the next full day of school.
It is important that your child attend school on these days. If possible, please avoid scheduling trips or appointments that would take your child out of school on these days. It is also important that your child have a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast before testing.
If you have questions about SOL testing, please contact your child’s counselor or the Assessment Coach, Ms. McLoughlin at mamcloughlin@fcps.edu.

School Health Services Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians. The survey has been approved for distribution by the FCPS’ Internal Survey Advisory Committee.
Electronic versions of the survey forms may be accessed at:
School Health Services Survey – Parents 2019: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/85QGH7C
School Health Services Survey-Parents 2019 (Spanish): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LLSF55F
The survey will take less than five minutes to complete and will provide the FCHD with valuable information. Your participation in this important endeavor is appreciated.
