SOL Testing Reminder- Electronic Policy

Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) End-of-Course (EOC) assessments between the end of April and May 20th. Students are preparing for these tests in their classes, and they will receive fcpsschools emails, containing their individual testing schedules, by the end of April.

Please note that during testing, all electronic devices must be off and away from students and accessing these devices while testing will cause the student’s test to earn a score of 0.  Although this policy is the same as previous years, we have noticed that some students are now using prescription smart glasses.  Students are not allowed to have in their possession any device, including smart glasses, that can record, connect, or transmit information during testing.  Please ensure that your student has a pair of non-connected eyeglasses if they require them for testing.

FCPS News

In case you missed it in FCPS This Week, the school division shared updates on the following topics:

  • Student Awards and Recognitions
  • Military Child of the Year Finalist
  • Required Immunizations Reminder

Read FCPS This Week to learn more about these topics. If you are not already receiving this weekly newsletter, please sign up today


Required Immunizations for  Rising 12th Graders

The following immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grade each school year. 

All students entering 12th grade are to receive two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school. To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, one dose must be administered at age 16 or older. 

Parents and guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and healthcare providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.

Immunization Events for FCPS Students FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations. 

Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.
