SOL Updates

Rocky Run students are scheduled to take the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) starting on late April/early May and will run until June 2021. This includes students who are taking classes virtually as the SOL tests cannot be taken at home and will require them to come to school for their scheduled tests. The tests that are scheduled to be given this year are:

  • Reading 7
  • Reading 8
  • Science 8
  • Math 7
  • Math 8
  • Algebra 1 (Verified Course Required for Graduation)
  • Algebra 2 (Verified Course Required for Graduation)
  • Geometry (Verified Course Required for Graduation)

Given the challenges of the pandemic, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is allowing students to opt-out of SOL testing for this year. Should you want your child to opt out of testing this year, please fill out the following form by March 31, 2021 so that scheduling the tests can be finalized. Testing schedules and dates will be released at the beginning of April.

If your child decides to opt-out of a verified course required for graduation, they will need to take the appropriate SOL test in the Fall of 2021. If you have any questions, you can contact our School Testing Coordinator, Karl Gussow at ksgussow@fcps.edu.
