Board of Education Approves Expedited
Retakes of Elementary & Middle School SOLs
Parents Must Consent before Students are Retested
The state Board of Education says that elementary and middle school students who fail Standards of
Learning (SOL) tests by narrow margins or because of extenuating circumstances this spring may be
retested before the end of the year — provided that school divisions first secure parental permission.
The board voted unanimously at its March 26 meeting in Richmond to adopt a resolution allowing
expedited retakes of SOL tests in grades three through eight, with the exception of the eighth-grade
writing test.
“The elementary and middle school SOLs are not high-stakes tests for students but the board wants to
be responsive to students who want a second chance to demonstrate proficiency before the end of the
school year,” Board of Education President Christian N. Braunlich said. “At the same time, after hearing
stories of student anxiety over SOL testing, we want to ensure that we don’t add any further to student
stress.”
In addition to failing by a narrow margin or having an extenuating circumstance, a student must have
passed the associated subject or course to be eligible for an expedited retake. School divisions must
also advise parents that a decision not to retake a test will not impact the child’s grade or academic
record.
The 2015 General Assembly approved legislation directing the board to develop regulations to allow
expedited retakes of all non-writing SOL tests, regardless of grade span. But the legislation, which was
signed by Governor Terry McAuliffe, does not become effective until July 1, after the 2014-2015 school
year. The Board of Education’s resolution permitting retakes became effective upon adoption.
“I am delighted that we were able to identify funds to make expedited retakes for elementary and
middle school students possible this year,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples said.
Expedited retakes have been allowed since 2000 for high school students who narrowly fail the end-ofcourse SOL assessments that are linked to the commonwealth’s diploma requirements.

WE NEED YOU!!
Dear Holton Parents,
We need your help promoting physical fitness and health to our youth and
community with our biggest fundraiser the Holton Hustle 5k Fest. Currently we need
volunteers to serve on our pre-planning committee to help us make our 2015 event
successful. Due to the loss of several integral committee members and the fact that
many current members will be leaving after this current school year, it is imperative
we fill these leadership positions now to provide continuity. On the back of this flyer
there is a snap shot of the different subcommittee duties for you to review.
If you can devote your time to serving on this committee we will greatly appreciate it.
Complete the form below and return it to the PTA mailbox OR send an email to
[email protected] indicating, which positions you, can fill. Our next meeting
will be at Holton on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 5:30pm.
Blessings,
Kantrese Smith

This program provides much needed educational equipment for our school. Please take this
to a local Kroger store. Have the cashier scan the bar code along with your Kroger Plus

You only have to scan this bar code one time from 3/30/15 - 4/21/2015, every time you shop
at Kroger and use your Kroger Plus Card, our school will electronically earn credit toward
free educational equipment. There is no cost to participate and this will not interfere with
credits you are earning for any other shopping promotions at Kroger. Once you have
scanned our bar code, please pass this notice along to friends, neighbors or co-workers so
they can help us earn educational equipment also.
If you do not have a Kroger Plus Card, please get one at any Kroger store, take this with
you, and you can start earning credit for our school. Thank you for your support.
PLEASE ASK FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ASSIST US WITH THIS ENDEAVOR TO

Purpose of the Practicum
The practicum for early elementary education covers two semesters, with placement each semester in a different school.
The practice are referred to as A and B, each two-credits. Planned observations and tasks are identified for the twosemester sequence. Students spend a minimum of 40 hours in a designated school. Practicum a students are placed in a
K-2 classroom and their time should be spent during language arts. Practicum B students have two placements, one K-2
classroom and one 3-5 classroom, and their time should be spent during math, science, and social studies

Office of The Principal
The in-school experience is an opportunity to observe how learning experiences are developed and structured and to
examine how teachers make decisions in elementary school classrooms. The practicum is intended to be a time for
observation and interaction. While a few tasks require teaching formal lessons, the practicum is not intended to provide
extensive instructional experience. To provide focus to the experience, tasks for the practicum students in early
elementary education have been identified.
Timeframe of the Practicum
Each practicum student will spend a minimum of four hours a week for ten+ weeks in their assigned school. Days and
times will vary for each student because of individual class schedules. Moreover, days and times must be agreed upon
by the cooperating teacher and the student. Students will begin and end their practicum experience according to
semester guidelines established by the university instructors.
Professional Roles
•
•
Role of the Cooperating Teacher: The preparation of new teachers is an important task that could not be
done adequately without the professional and unselfish assistance of effective teachers willing to share their
classroom. Cooperating teachers have two major responsibilities during the practicum experience. First, and
foremost, they should provide opportunities for practicum students to work with students in a variety of
capacities. Students are to work closely with the teacher, and should never assume responsibility for the entire
class alone. Second, teachers need to provide opportunities for students to complete assigned tasks and verify
completion of hours by signing the timesheet. Teachers are encouraged to give feedback to students, but are
not asked to sign grades. An evaluation will be completed at the end of the practicum experience to provide
more extensive feedback to the students.
Role of the Student: During the practicum experience, the student is a learner. The student is to eagerly seek
to learn about the policies and procedures of the school as well as the dynamics of teaching and learning that
occurs in the classroom. The practicum students are provided the opportunity to observe and learn in a
classroom environment and should act responsibly at all times. Informal participation is encouraged when
directed by the cooperating teacher. Students should complete practicum tasks after discussion with
cooperating teacher and should listen to feedback to improve their teaching.
Professional Expectations of the Student
Practicum students represent VCU and the School of Education. They are guests in the school and classrooms. What
students do while in the public schools reflects on the institution and influences the thinking of professionals regarding
the quality of the teacher preparation program and the students. It is expected that each student will represent VCU well.
Students’ performance during their practicum will also become part of their “legacy” and how others view them as
potential applicants for a position in the school division. Consequently, students should pay close attention to such
things as punctuality, reliability, appropriate dress, neatness, scholarship, and willingness to work with the cooperating
teacher. Essentially, students should demonstrate enthusiasm for relating to children and be committed to working with
teachers and performing designated tasks of the practicum.
Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to fulfill the following responsibilities during the semester:
• In-school assignment for minimum required time of 4 hours each week.
• Spend a minimum of ten weeks in assigned school during the semester.
• Complete all required tasks which may vary by instructor.

SOL
April 20,2015
SOL testing is quickly approaching and there is important information I need to
communicate with you. Please read this entire email.
1. Our testing window is May 18 - June 5. We will begin testing on the first day of
the window to ensure that students have adequate time to complete makeups and
retakes.
2. I need to meet with each grade level to choose dates for each SOL test. Only one
grade level will be testing each day because of computer issues we have
encountered during benchmark assessments and staff needed to proctor these tests.
Please see me to schedule your tests as soon as possible.
3. Students will be allowed to retake SOL assessments if they failed within a narrow
margin or have extenuating circumstances. Parent permission must also be obtained
in order for the student to be retested.
I will conducting training for all staff in the building for SOL testing once I have
received all materials for this training.
Thank you for your attention and hard work,

Please focus on writing. I will be checking writing portfolios during the last evaluation cycle.
Please have at least six writing samples in writing portfolios.
Suggestions for writing include:
• Students introducing the clear main idea in the opening sentence of a writing assignment
• Including supporting evidence to support the main idea
• Ending with a strong conclusion
• Checking for correct spelling, capitalization, and grammar usage
• Sentence structure
• Writing must have consistent organization
• Even though teachers may not teach these skills in isolation,they could just introduce to
students during any writing assignment. These skills will be so important when students
move to the higher grades.
