OP, ask the school. Ours already published the dates on their web site.

If they don't know, just plan the surgery and don't worry about it. Missing an SOL in 3rd grade means nothing....


Try that again. The window for a 3rd grader in FCPS is May 7-June 1. It’s clearly marked on the FCPS testing calendar.

This is incorrect. A student must pass a certain number of SOLs to receive a HS diploma. A students needs a Pass Advance on the 7th grade Math SOL to be able to take Honors Algebra in 7th grade.

OPs child is in third grade. Did you read the OP?

But OPs child is in 3rd grade. Nothing happens to a 3rd grader who misses a SOL for a medical reason.

This. There is no penalty to your child if he/she is out for medical reasons.
The window has been set for May 7-June 1. But each school sets its own schedule for when each grade will take each test. Most will have that done around spring break time.

Typically the last two weeks of may and the first werk of june. If you look on your school's website, find thr calendar, and look ahead to May, they may be listed. If not listed, you can call and they will tell you. I'd say do the surgery in the second werk of June if possible, otherwise do April.

When are FCPS SOL dates for 2018 made available? Does anyone know? I need to schedule a surgery for DS and wondered when the release that info. DS is just now in 3rd so never took SOLs before. Also, what happens if DS misses the SOL (ie, we schedule the surgery because dates are not released and they conflict). Surgery is about a week recovery give or take (we were told).
