The SOLs resume today — as the 8th grade Hokies and Patriots take their Writing Test. Test-takers should report to their designated locations immediately following TA. If you’re not sure about your room number, just ask your TA teacher. The testing session is scheduled to run from Wolf time through 3rd period. But anyone who need additional time will be moved to the library. And remember: students should bring NOTHING with them to the test today — no iPads, no backpacks, no smart-watches, not even a pencil. Only a book to read when you’re finished. Good luck on the test, Hokies and Patriots!!
.
As for our 6th and 7th graders — you’ve got an important job today, too: BE QUIET IN THE HALLS! Students will be testing in the LIBRARY and ENGLISH TRAILER all morning, so please be respectful and responsible as you walk between classes. Teachers will be posted throughout the school to remind you. Thanks in advance for your consideration, wolves!!
