  • The SOLs roll-on here at WMS — with 6th graders from ALL TEAMS taking the Math exam from 8 to 10:48 this morning.  Meanwhile, the rest of the school will be following a NORMAL class schedule today.  Testing locations are listed outside of the library, or you can check with your TA teacher.
    .
    A few reminders for Test-takers:  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 devises 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 — please remember to be quiet and respectful in the halls. Teachers will be monitoring the hallways 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, 6th graders!
