 Keene Mill students performed beautifully at the school concert on Tuesday. Thanks to the Keene Mill band, strings and chorus teachers for their dedication to music education.
SOL Testing
SOL testing begins on Monday, May 13. The SOL assessments measure the extent to which students have learned the content and skills reflected in state standards and may also be used to measure growth in learning state standards. Please help your student do his/her best on their SOL tests by getting a good night sleep before the test and a healthy breakfast. Talk to them about putting forth their best effort while not becoming overly stressed.
