August WASL for ninth-graders
Students who were in ninth grade during the spring 2008 WASL testing are eligible to participate in the August testing.
Because ninth-grade reports are available early to students and they will know their WASL status in June, they now are eligible to register for the August administration. Previously, ninth graders didn’t receive score reports until early September.
All eligible students can register for the August WASL, scheduled for Aug. 11-14, at www.k12.wa.us/waslregistration or by calling (866) 400-WASL (9275).
