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

School-wide Science Fair Projects
March 23, 2015
Dear Parents,
It’s that time of year again! The Holton Science Fair is Wednesday, May 19, 2015. Projects are
due Monday, May 11, 2015. Science Fair Projects will be judged May 12-15, 2015 and will be
displayed at the May 19, 2015 PTA Meeting.
All students in grades fourth through fifth are required to complete a science fair project. Grades
Pre-kindergarten through third grade students may submit an individual project or class/group
project (some of the first grade teachers may require individual projects). All projects will be
entered in the school-wide science fair. At the discretion of the first through fifth grade teachers,
the project will count as a test grade and a project grade. This is a great opportunity for your
son/daughter to receive an “A” on both a test and project. Ten projects from grades K-4 will be
kept and entered in next year’s city wide science fair.
Fourth through fifth grade projects must be completed outside the classroom. Parents are
encouraged to assist when necessary, but the student should assume the greatest responsibility
for the project. Students are required to prepare projects using the scientific method. They have
been taught this in class. Included in this packet are the following: “Guidelines for Submitting a
Science Fair Project”, “Specifications for the Exhibit of the Science Project” and “Scientific
Method Vocabulary”. Please read this information carefully. This information will aid you and
your child in planning and displaying his/her project. Because science projects are timeconsuming and require planning ahead and pacing, a Student Self-Check Schedule sheet is
included in this packet. Please use the self-check to ensure that your son/daughter is on track and
will complete the project by the due date.
Science Fair projects will be judged in several areas. Each area is explained on the Science Fair
Rubric included in this packet. Have fun and enjoy your science adventure!

Guidelines for Submitting a Science Fair Project
•
Science fair projects are aligned with Virginia Standards of Learning of the investigative
nature. Therefore, all projects MUST be an experiment, not a model. Virginia Standards
of Learning 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, and 5.1 state that students will participate in scientific
investigations. An experiment MUST include the following:
•
Title (stated in the form of a question)
•
Purpose
•
Hypothesis
•
Materials
•
Procedure
•
Responding/Manipulated Variable
•
Constants
•
Data
•
Results
•
Conclusion
•
Some projects will not include each of the category headings above. Category headings
should be included in projects as appropriate to grade level. (i.e. constants are not taught
at first grade level so first grade projects will not include constants).
•
All projects MUST be self-standing. Free Standing Science Project boards can be
purchased here at school for $3.00. Boards will be available for purchase March 11,
2013.
•
No live animals, preserved vertebrate animals or parts including embryos may be
exhibited at the fair. Photographs should be taken instead.
•
No liquids should be turned in. Take pictures if liquids are required.
•
No expensive equipment should be brought in. Pictures of microscopes are sufficient if
the student wishes to emphasize what he/she used.

•
A paper describing the research, notebooks, or other relevant materials should be
displayed with the project.
•
All projects MUST be typed.
Specifications for the Exhibit of the Science Fair Project
Our school requires a free-standing, three-sided display that is no larger than 122
48 inches wide, 108 inches tall, and 30 inches deep. The display may be made out
of plywood or fiberboard hinged together or may be constructed from folded,
corrugated cardboard or reinforced poster board. Please ensure that the display is
sturdy and will not fall over. Students should organize their exhibit according to
the following arrangement.
The display can be covered with colored paper. Use contrasting colors to print the
title and other headings. Type the information for each step and fasten it below the
appropriate heading. Construction paper can be used as backing for information.

Scientific Method Vocabulary
Title
The title of your project is the name of your project. The title should be simply stated in the form
of a question.
Purpose
The purpose should be stated as an objective. Why are you conducting this experiment?
Hypothesis
After you have done some research on the project topic, you should formulate a statement of
what you would expect to happen as a result of your experiment or investigation. The hypothesis
is an “educated guess” of the expected answer to the research question. The hypothesis should
be written in a complete sentence. It should not be stated as an opinion, beginning with, “I
think”.
Materials
The materials should be listed in sentence form. The materials are everything that was used to
conduct the experiment.
Procedure
This is the step-by-step directions as to how the experiment was conducted. This should be
written in complete sentences using a numbered sequence or transitional words such as first,
next, last and finally.
Independent or Manipulated Variable & Dependent or Responding Variable
In any investigation only one factor should be changed, while all other factors remain the same.
The factor that is changed or manipulated is called the independent or manipulated variable. This
is the variable that you changed on purpose. The independent or manipulated variable has an
effect on another factor, called the dependent or responding variable. This is the variable that
changed as a result of the experiment.
Constants
The constants are all of the factors that remained the same in the experiment.
Data
Data is collected throughout the experiment and can convey a great deal of information. Your
data includes any photographs, charts, graphs, tables, or drawings showing what happened
before, during or after conducting the experiment.
Results
The results should explain the data in the form of a statement. Results should include what
happened during or after conducting the experiment.
Conclusion
What did you find out and how does it compare with your hypothesis? Was your hypothesis
proven or not?

Scientific Method Sheet
Title: Does the temperature of ketchup affect how fast it flows?
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to find out if the temperature of
ketchup affects how fast it flows
Hypothesis:
Example 1-If the temperature of ketchup is increased, then the travel distance will
decrease (stated as cause & effect).
Example 2- It is hypothesized that the travel distance of ketchup will decrease if
the temperature of ketchup is increased).
Materials: 3 packets of ketchup, 1 cup of ice water, 1 cup of room temperature
water, 1 cup of hot water, 1 dinner plate, a stopwatch and a metric ruler
Procedure: 1. Fill a container with water and allow a few minutes for the water to
reach room temperature. 2. Use tape or a felt marker to make a starting line on the
plate near the top. 3. Fill a second container with ice water and a third container
with hot tap water. 4. Place a ketchup packet in each temperature of water; wait 2
minutes. 5. Quickly remove each packet and squeeze an equal amount of ketchup in
separate “blobs” on the starting line. Put the blobs in order such as ice cold, room

temperature, and hot, so you will remember where you put each one. 6. Tilt the
plate at a 45° angle and measure the distances in centimeters that the blobs of
ketchup flow in 30 seconds. Record your results.
Independent/Manipulated Variable: The manipulated or independent variable
was the temperature of the ketchup (in ice water, room temperature, and hot
water)
Dependent/Responding Variable: The responding or dependent variable was the
distance the ketchup flowed in 30 seconds.
Constants: The constants in this experiment were the brand of ketchup, angle at
which the plate was tilted, amount of time ketchup packet remained in the water
and travel time.
Data: See photographs, graphs and chart
Results: The ketchup that was placed in hot water traveled the farthest distance.
Conclusion: The ketchup placed in hot water traveled the farthest distance
because heat causes molecules to spread apart and move faster, causing it to flow
down the plate at a faster rate. Cold water causes molecules to stick together very
closely. My results do not support my hypothesis that when the temperature of the
ketchup is increased, the travel distance of the ketchup would decrease. In fact,
when the temperature of the ketchup increased, so did the travel distance of the
ketchup.

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

Telephone (804) 228-5310
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.

USEFUL LOCKDOWN DRILL INFORMATION What is a lockdown? A school lockdown confines all staff and students to the classroom due to a perceived or real threat; isolation of staff and students inside the school limits exposure to risk to outside contaminants: people, exposures or situations. When should a school go into “lockdown” and who makes the decision? There are several reasons for a school to determine that a lockdown status is most protective of its staff and students. There may be an unwelcomed person or persons on the campus grounds; local law enforcement has notified administration of a situation (i.e., chemical accident) or person of concern in the vicinity; or a menacing animal has been seen on the grounds. In short, there is some sort of event occurring, or threatening to occur; limiting access to staff and students can mitigate that the school believes. For actual incidents requiring lockdowns, building principals can initiate lockdown status or by the prompting/guidance of local law enforcement. •
•
•
•
•
•
DIRECT all students from hallways into classroom. Notify appropriate staff of primary classroom/location if/as possible that student is safe. Do not exit classroom for ANY reason. Inform students that they are not allowed to use their cell phones for calls or for text messaging during a lockdown drill or situation. Hundreds of calls being made simultaneously will not only jam the system, but will result in parents arriving at the school, which only increases the danger to everyone. LOCK all exterior doors. If there is no lock on the door – move heaviest object in front if possible. CLOSE windows and blinds. STAY AWAY from all doors and windows, move students towards walls away from door. SHUT OFF LIGHTS. DO NOT OPEN exterior doors for any reason until an “all clear” is received. Linwood Holton Elementary School

DO NOT USE the telephone system to request information. Follow building protocol to communicate room status. BE QUIET! Wait for further instructions. CALM and reassure upset students. RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS as soon as possible. Location Considerations Gymnasium: Students should be moved into the locker room, lock all doors and seek shelter in pre-­‐‑identified safe areas. Lunchroom: Students should be moved to the far side of the most open areas, turn tables on side if necessary. Outside: Students should stop, drop and remain still or huddle around playground equipment p.m.ent; if/as possible, depending upon situation, attempt to move into building. Bathrooms: Students/staff should move into a stall, lock the staff door and crouch on the toilet so feet, hands and head are hidden from view Hallway: Students should move into closest classroom immediately Library: Students should seek shelter under tables, or in aisles. Lock the door, turn out the lights. What to Tell Students As appropriate, encourage staff to review the importance of emergency drills with students, as well as their role during drills. Provide students with specific instructions about each drill and include the drill objectives. Allow student feedback concerning lockdown drills. Provide drill information to all new students. Plan accordingly for students with disabilities. What to Tell Parents Linwood Holton Elementary School
1600 West Laburnum Avenue
Richmond, Virginia 23227-4416
Telephone (804) 228-5310
Office of The Principal
Parents should be informed of the requirement for all drills to ensure safe practices during emergencies in the school building. Schools need to inform parents, either before or after a lockdown drill; if after, commend student behavior and add any suggestions or changes for future drills. During a lockdown drill or situation, parents must not attempt to enter the building until the area has been secured by local law enforcement or cleared by administration.

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.
