The SOLs roll-on here at WMS — with MAKE-UP testing for the Reading exam for all grades. Test-takers will be notified by their TA teachers this morning, and should report to the library for testing at 8:30 a.m.
.
A few reminders for Test-takers: you may ONLY bring your fully-charged iPad, a pencil or pen, a book to read, and earbuds ONLY if you have an approved audio accommodation for the test. You may NOT bring: backpacks or cinch sacks; any other electronic devices such as phones, watches, game consoles and the like; nor any water or snacks. And of course, there is zero tolerance for CHEATING.
.
And for all those students who are NOT testing today — we will be following a NORMAL class schedule. Please remember to be quiet and respectful in the halls — especially when passing by the library.
.
Teachers will be monitoring to ensure that there are no disruptions. Any other questions or concerns? Check with your teachers or grade level counselors. Good luck on your SOLs, wolves!
.
The WMS Library will be CLOSED today during SOL testing hours. However, it WILL be open after school. But don’t forget: with the end of the year fast approaching, all library books are now DUE. So look in your backpack, your locker, and under your bed at home — and BRING IN YOUR BOOKS!
