10th grade WASL scores to be received in homes in early June

Summer school still available for students who will retake tests

May 25, 2006 - By mid-June, high school students in the classes of 2006, 2007 and 2008 who took the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) will be mailed an individual score report with final and accurate scores on reading, writing and math tests.

These scores are important in determining whether a student should attend summer school to be prepared to retake any or all WASL tests in which they did not make a passing grade. There is still time to sign up for WASL summer school by calling your high school.

Beginning with the class of 2008, this year’s sophomores, 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 www.k12.wa.us/waslregistration, or by phone from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Fri. at 1-866-400-WASL (9275).
