  • Attention 8th graders! The Writing SOL begin TODAY — and there are a few things you need to know. The schedule is as follows:  we begin with the Multiple Choice portion — Cavs and Rams this morning; Hokies and Patriots tomorrow. Then on Monday the Cavs and Rams are up again for the Writing portion of the SOL, and on Tuesday it’ll be the Hokies and Patriot’s turn.
  • When going to your testing locations, you will NOT be allowed to bring your backpacks, water, snacks nor ANY electronic devices — including phones, iPads, smart watches. or anything else. But you SHOULD bring a pencil or pen, and a BOOK to read in case you finish early — but again, no electronic readers. If you are not sure where you’re testing, just ask your TA teacher or check the postings outside of the cafeteria, the Gym, and the English trailer. Good luck on the SOL, 8th graders!
  • And even if you’re NOT testing today — students are reminded to be QUIET and CONSIDERATE when walking through the halls between classes. Teachers will be posted by the Gym, the World Language hall, and the Library to ensure that EVERYONE acts responsibly. Also, it is VERY important that all phones and iPads remain OFF and disconnected from the WMS Wi-Fi during testing. Thanks for your help, wolves!
