The WASL (Washington Assessment of Student Learning) is required for ALL 10th graders.

ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN 10TH GRADE must take the Washington Assessment of Student Learning. We will have a special schedule on four test days in April for the language arts and math portions of the test. Science and communications will be given during class periods on set days.

TEST SCHEDULE

To be announced at a later date. WASL testing is required April 23-May 11 for the year 2001.

TEST ROOM ASSIGNMENTS: You are assigned to a specific room for all tests. Be sure to report right on time These are untimed tests. Students may take as long as they need to finish each test. Students who need to work beyond the tell will relocate in the guidance center to finish the test.

THINGS YOU SHOULD BRING TO TEST SESSIONS
Not all tests will take the entire time. Whatever time is left over will be used as a study hall. You should plan to stay at school in the testing room on each test day.

You will not be able to leave the test room once testing begins each day, so bring with you:

• A book or magazines to read if you finish before time scheduled.
• Homework or other materials that will keep you occupied quietly until the bell. .

It is very important that you do your best work on these tests so that scores accurately reflect your ability. Come prepared to think hard and work carefully!
