The SOLs are here! That’s right, this week 8th graders will be taking their Writing SOLs. Today, it’s the PATRIOTS and RAMS. Testing locations are posted by the cafeteria and the gym, and you can also check with your TA teacher. Here are a few things you need to know: you will NOT be allowed to bring your backpacks, pens nor pencils, water, snacks nor ANY electronic devices during the test. But you may bring a BOOK to read in case you finish early — just no electronic readers. See Ms. Cameron or your school counselor with any questions. Good luck on the SOL, Patriots and Rams!
.
As for everybody else, we will be following a REVERSE schedule today — starting with a PASS DAY after TA, and then periods 7 through 1. However, all lunch times will remain the same. Check with your TA teacher with any other questions about the schedule.
