Upcoming School Announcements, Reminders, and Events

• Upcoming Assessments: Please click here to check our school calendar for upcoming mandatory standardized assessments (and other school events). For more information about mandatory standardized assessments, check in directly with your child's teachers:)
• One Day Testing Opt In: For 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Owl Families, please note the following: Per the VDOE, the grades 3-5 Reading and Math Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Tests may be administered over either one or two days. Richmond Public Schools selected two day testing for both the reading test and the math test for a total of four days of testing; however, in special situations, some students may take the reading and math test in one day for each for a total of two days of testing, but only with permission from their parent or guardian. The attached form will serve as parental permission to utilize the one day testing option. Families, please click on the link below to provide permission if you would like to have your child complete the SOL reading and math tests in two days rather than four days. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our site testing coordinator, Mrs. Melinda Brooks (mbrooks4@rvaschools.net).
