📝 Student Testing Results Coming Soon

Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website. 

How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines. 

Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.

📈 New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 Tests

Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.

In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring. 

The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year. 

Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.

Please take a few minutes to complete the appropriate grade-level form below to help us plan effectively.  We need to hear from everyone as to whether your rising 4th, 5th or 6th grade child will participate in band, strings, or neither (which means they will take general music).   Additional information on the programs is below.  Please complete the form one time for each child who will be in grades 4 -6 next year by Friday, June 7, 2024.   Students in grades 4-6 have the opportunity to enroll in strings (grades 4-6) or band (grades 5-6).   Band and strings instruction will occur once a week during the specials block again this year.  Students who do not enroll in band or strings will participate in the general music program.
