Student Survey for GBW
Though the beginning of the next school year may seem far away, we are already beginning our planning for classroom assignments for the 2024-2025 school year. To assist in this process, each year we like to provide families the opportunity to share some information about your child by completing the Student Survey Form. Please note that we do not accept requests for a particular teacher. Your feedback will be shared with the entire committee (admin, classroom teachers, counselors, support staff & specialists) when we collaboratively make our class placements. When our committee makes our class placements, we will use a complex set of data including academic needs, social / emotional / behavioral needs, teacher feedback, and will also include parent feedback from this form. Our promise to the community is that we will read and consider this feedback when making class placements so that we ensure all students are successful next year. Please complete this form no later Friday, May 17th, 2024. Any feedback received after this date will not be used in our class placement meetings.
Thank you to our 6th Grade

Spring SOL Testing Schedule
As we approach the month of May, we want to remind everyone about the upcoming SOL (Standards of Learning) testing for our Pandas. These assessments provide valuable insights into their progress and areas for growth.
Here are the testing dates for each grade level:
We encourage families to ensure that students are on time on the days of their testing. If you know your child is going to be late or absent on a testing date, please let their teacher know as soon as possible.
Let's rally together as a community to support our students as they tackle the SOL tests. Together, we can help them succeed and reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our schools.
Best wishes to all students participating in the SOL testing!
If you have any questions please reach out and let us know,
Mrs. Quigley, cmquigley@fcps.edu
