  Calendar of Testing




We have many online resources available to students to practice for their SOL assessments coming up in the Spring.  Please go to our "Educational Web Site" side-navigation bar and scroll down to Testing Resources and you will be directed to a page that has many links to use with your student.  The Viriginia Dept. of Ed. also has created a page for online practice for the Writing Field Test.  Please click on the following link to access that information and see an example of an online Writing test.

Get on Target with Reading!

"Get on Target with Reading!" is an intervention, remediation, and enrichment program involving the parent, teacher and students in active reading. On a regular basis, students will take home a Target bag which contains a portable cassette player, a book, a CD recording of the book and a book talk guideline. The teacher will match each student with a book based on the student's literacy needs. The student will bring the Target Reading bag home, listen to and read the book in partnership with a parent.

"Caring for Tomorrow"

"Caring for Tomorrow" is an environmental project funded by Coles Elementary and Dominion Resources. This project will teach our children how to grow food and respect diversity and give our students a better understanding of nature and their responsibilities. Our students will plant a garden with crops representing the different cultures within our school. Five native Virginian pollinators will be studied over a five year time period: Ruby Throated Hummingbird, Monarch and Swallowtail Butterfly, bees, bats and beetles.  Merrifield Garden Center has been working closely with us on the planting schedule and gave our school a 25% discount for this project. 
                                                                                          

Crank that Move

"The Crank that Move program will offer a special, new way to get fit for hearing-impaired (HI) students at Coles Elementary. As the center-based school for HI children in Prince William County, Coles Elementary will purchase an Xbox Kinect interactive fitness system, making it possible for HI students to participate in activities through feeling the beat and following along visually, without the need for verbal instruction." Northern Virginia Community Foundation sponsored this healthy kids grant.
