Sunday is deadline to sign up for

summer 10th-grade WASL retakes

High school students who wish to retake the 10th grade WASL tests have until this Sunday, July 9, to sign up for WASL retakes in August. This is the first time students will have the option of retaking the Washington Assessment of Student Learning during the summer.

Beginning with the class of 2008, every student in Washington state must pass all WASL tests in order to graduate. Students who did not pass this year’s 10th grade reading, writing or math portions of the WASL can retake tests in early August. WASL retakes for the all district students will be administered at Renton High School on August 7–10 (see chart below).

To be eligible to take these tests, students must register with the state’s education office online at http://www.k12.wa.us/waslregistration/, or by phone from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Fri. at 1-866-400-WASL (9275).
