As we wind down the 2023-2024 school year, it is time to prepare for SOL testing. Please note the dates your student will be testing and help ensure they come to school prepared for success!
Fuel the Body: Make certain your student has a good night’s rest before the test
Fuel the Brain: Provide a nutritious breakfast in the morning. A free breakfast is available in all the school cafeterias each school day.
Arrive on Time: Plan for arriving to school on time so that your student does not feel rushed and can take the test with classmates on the scheduled day.
See Success: Make certain your student has any needed eyewear.
Take Their Time: Tests are untimed. Avoid scheduling any appointments for your student on the day of the test and encourage them to take their time.
Speak It Make It So: Encourage your student to do their best and let them know you believe in them.
Talk It Out: Help your student understand that no electronic devices are allowed in SOL testing. This includes phones and electronic watches.
