Sandburg Testing: Dates to Know & Steps to Take
Greetings from Sandburg’s Testing Team!
When we return from Spring Break, we will be administering the IRW make up test on April 8.
If your student needs to make up this test, we will send a reminder message on Tuesday April 7.
Looking ahead in April, grade 7 and 8 students will take the Reading SOL on Tuesday April 28.
We ask that you log into your ParentVue account and indicate if you choose for your student to retake a test should they qualify.
Please send any questions to Ms. Johnson, your testing coordinator, at mgjohnson1@fcps.edu.
We are looking forward to finishing our school year strong with amazing performances on the SOL assessments. Thank you for all you do to support your students and us at Sandburg.
