- Specific dates for SOL testing can be found on the Madison website.
- Only FCPS devices can be used for SOL testing. Students who have opted-out of a FCPS device will be provided a loaner computer the day of testing. Please make sure your student’s FCPS device is being brought to school on a regular basis so it can get the necessary updates prior to testing.
- Questions about SOLs? Please contact your child’s counselor or our assessment coach, Jennifer Frate at jlfrate@fcps.edu.
AP Testing
- AP Testing begins next week, May 2 (Madison’s AP Testing Calendar). Students and parents should review their AP exam schedule email with locations sent last week.

The meeting will begin at 3:15 and last until no later than 4:15. Students do not need to sign up in advance. Attendance will be taken at the meeting and it is not required that students attend in order to be eligible to apply in the fall.

Students and/or parents with questions can contact Richard Culp at riculp@fcps.edu.
Path to College: Wednesday, April 27, at 7pm (Zoom webinar). Jed Applerouth - Founder & President of Applerouth Tutoring sponsored by our Madison PTSA
- Applying to college should be exciting and fun, but it's easy to get overwhelmed by the increasing competition at top schools and the ever-rising cost of higher education. What's more, families don't always know where to start when it comes to securing a spot at a great college or university.
- No matter where your student is in their high school career, you can lay the groundwork for an amazing college application. Take this trip with Applerouth - we'll show you how to navigate the college admissions process with confidence.

End of Year Medication Pick Up
- The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school June 10, 2022. Medications left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room.
- Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services
