The End of Course (EOC) Writing SOL is required for all Juniors as it serves as their verified credit in writing, a State requirement for graduation. Students must pass the SOL to verify their credit. The SOL test is only administered in-person. There are no virtual remote testing opportunities. Students remaining virtual will need to report to the school to take this State-mandated test. If there is a reason your student cannot report to the school, please notify your child’s counselor immediately. Students who do not test in March must test in the fall and pass the Writing SOL test to graduate on time. It is highly recommended that Juniors take the test on March 15, 2021.

Students who would like retakes and all-virtual students may come from 3:00 - 4:30 PM
