SOL Testing
We are currently in our SOL Testing window. Our main testing window will last through May 26th. Additionally, make-ups and retakes will occur through early June. During SOL testing, we work diligently to maintain a secure and favorable testing environment to allow our students to focus and do their best.
We are respectfully asking that you refrain from visiting during the lunch period until after May 26th. We are happy to welcome you back to enjoy lunch with your children beginning on May 30th.
Thank you for ensuring that your children are on time, get a good night's rest and are ready to show off their great learning on the SOL Tests!
We hope you know how much we appreciate your continued support this year!
