Testing Information
McLean HS AP Testing Schedules - 5/1-5/12
AP Exam schedules were sent out to students on Friday, April 21 to their FCPS Gmail accounts. If students have any questions, please reach out to the Assessment Coach Elly Donlen (ekdonlen@fcps.edu).
Students should arrive at their testing location by 7:45am for morning AP exams, and by 11:45am for afternoon AP exams. Afternoon testing will go past 2:55PM, and there aren’t late buses for AP Testing. Please make sure to arrange a ride with your student between 3:30-4:00 pm.
McLean HS SOL Schedule
The main SOL testing dates will occur between Monday, May 15, and Friday May 19. It is important that your student attend school on these days and have a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast before testing. If your child has an unavoidable conflict that could result in missing a testing day, they will be moved to a makeup date prior to May 26.
The Virginia Department of Education requires high school students enrolled in an SOL course to take the EOC test if the student needs a verified credit for graduation or if the student has not yet met federal testing requirements (1 Math, 1 Reading, and 1 Biology SOL attempt taken during grade 9-12). Students who have met the testing requirements for graduation and federal accountability do not test. If you have questions about SOL testing, please contact your child’s school counselor.
2023 Baccalaureate Service
McLean High School Seniors, their families, and guests are invited to attend the 2023 Baccalaureate Service.
When: June 5th at 5pm
Where: Temple Rodef Shalom, 2100 Westmoreland St, Falls Church, VA 22043
The Baccalaureate Service is a long-standing tradition for parents of graduating seniors at McLean High School to organize an interfaith graduation service for students and their families. Baccalaureate services date to the 1400s and mark the milestone of graduation with prayer and song. The service includes prayers and reflections from faith leaders in our area as well as from Class of 2023 students.
If you would like to serve on the Baccalaureate committee, or would like to participate as a speaker, prayer leader, and/or music performer, please contact Julie Smith at jds342000@gmail.com. To donate food, drink, decorations, time or funds to this time-honored tradition, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080548aaad29a57-2023#/
