 We are proud of all the hard work our students and staff have shown this week! Students successfully completed the first week of SOL testing, including Reading SOLs for students in grades 3–6 and the 5th grade Science SOL. Our students approached testing with perseverance and confidence, and it has been wonderful to see them show off all they have learned this year. Younger students have also been busy completing their end-of-year assessments and continuing to make great progress.
Next week, students in grades 3–6 will complete their final SOL assessments in Math. We know our students will continue to do their very best, and we appreciate all the encouragement and support families provide at home during this important time of year.
During the 3-hour early release, staff participated in professional development and planning meetings to support preparations for the 2026–27 school year. Our team is already thoughtfully planning for next year, and we are grateful for your flexibility and partnership.
Enjoy this week's weekly report & we hope to see you at the final PTA meeting of the school year, this Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in the cafe.

Preliminary SOL scores are currently posting to SIS Test History twice weekly and are available through ParentVUE, StudentVUE, and TeacherVUE. During the week of June 8, SOL Family Score Report PDFs will be posted to ParentVUE Documents in SIS. Please note that all posted Family Score Report PDFs reflect the preliminary data displayed in SIS as of the previous day. If you have questions about an SOL Score report, please reach out to our Testing Coordinators, Jody Delaney and Matt Stewart at jmdelaney@fcps.edu and mdstewart@fcps.edu.
Our first graders enjoyed an exciting visit to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum on Friday!
Please join the PTA Board for our Annual Volunteer Thank You Luncheon on Friday, May 29th from 12-2pm (at the home of a nearby SVES family*) to recognize all of our volunteers this year. Whether you helped at an event or took on a larger role, we wanted to take a moment to appreciate everyone's efforts and enjoy some informal time together.
Also, we'd like to thank and acknowledge those longtime volunteers whose youngest child is graduating the 6th grade this year. If that's you, note "6th grade graduate!" next to your name. RSVP no later than Tuesday, May 26, so that we may provide enough food. Please indicate any dietary needs in the notes field.
*The address of the SVES family hosting the event will be emailed to you a few days in advance, so look out for that email. For event questions, contact SVES PTA President, Alexis Estep, at svesptapres@gmail.com.
