Testing Information: 3rd-5th SOL Tests

During the school year, statewide and district testing is scheduled for students.

On April 30, 5th graders will participate in an Integrated Reading and Writing (IRW) assessment. It includes new item types focused on the integration of reading and writing instruction and supports building student literacy skills. For additional information on the IRW, including practice opportunities, please visit the VDOE Assessment Page.

Beginning May 13, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will take their Standards Of Learning tests in various subjects. Each test is administered online using student iPads within one school day beginning at 9AM. You can help with test preparations by making sure that your child has a good night sleep, arrives to school on time each morning, and is prepared for the test. Encourage your child to work hard and try his/her best. The testing schedule by grade is below. Please make every effort to avoid scheduling any appointments during the testing period.
