How can I register my high school student to retake the WASL?
Students currently in grades 11 and 12 will be automatically registered to take the Spring 2008 WASL in subject areas not yet passed. 11th- and 12th-graders DO NOT need to register themselves.
Students currently in grade 9 are eligible to take the High School WASL (Reading, Writing, and/or Math) in Spring 2008, and must register themselves for these tests. A letter (PDF) was mailed to families in early December, describing this opportunity.
9th graders who missed the official registration window may still register for testing by e-mailing the district assessment
office (WASL@edmonds.wednet.edu) or by calling 425-431-7303.
How can I review my child's WASL test?
If you wish to view your child's test booklet, please contact the Assessment Office of the Office of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction (OSPI) at 360-725-6348 or download
the form from OSPI. While parents of any age student may review their child's WASL booklet, parents of high school students may also appeal their child's WASL scores. The first step in the High School appeal process is for the parent to review the student's test booklet.
Where can I get more information about the WASL?
A parent guide entitled Reaching Higher, which includes sample questions, examples of students' answers, and
explanations of how different answers are scored is available from your child's school. There are two versions of the document,
one for students in grades 3-8 and one for high school students. Please ask for a copy in your school's main office or you may download the electronic versions on OSPI's Web site. There are also helpful links to resources in the table to the right on this page.
How can I learn more about my child's school's scores and the Edmonds School District's overall results?
The OSPI website provides spring 2007 district and school test scores.
In the meantime, if you have additional questions and can't locate the answers here, please e-mail WASL@edmonds.wednet.edu.
