The Spring SOLs will take place in early May for Twain students.  It is important that students be present and on-time to school on testing days.  Please do your best to avoid appointments and planned absences.  If travel or out of school events are unavoidable, please contact your student’s counselor as soon as possible so alternate testing dates can be arranged.
