SOL Testing for Virtual Students on Mondays
The window for virtual students to sign up for Monday SOL testing is now closed. Students/families who previously completed the form were emailed on April 27th with details for testing. Virtual students who did not receive the email should not come to the school on Monday as testing will not be scheduled or prepared for them. Additionally, students who signed up but are now in-person were removed from the Monday list today, and they will test with their 1st and 2nd period classes when they are in the building. https://sandburgms.fcps.edu/announcements/sol-testing#.YIv2OE1s0P8.link
