Tenth Grade WASL and Graduation

The class of 2008, current tenth grade students, is the first class that must pass the Washington State Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) in reading, writing and math in order to earn a Certificate of Achievement. This certificate is one of the Sate's four graduation requirements.

Individual score reports for spring of 2006 will be mailed home the week of June 12-16 along with a letter to parents explaining next steps. Students who did not pass one or more sections of the WASL this spring have multiple options to help them meet this important expectation:

  • Summer school classes focusing in on essential skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Camas students are being served by both the Evergreen and Vancouver school districts. To register at the Evergreen School District, contact their community education office at 360-604-4082. To register at Vancouver School District, call 360-313-3700 before June 30. After June 30, call 313-1060.
  • At least four more retake options on any section of the WASL, starting with retests the week of August 7-10. Registration for the August retake is required. Either go online - http://www.k12.wa.us/WASLRegistration -- or call 866-400-9275 by July 9, 2006. Students can take the retest anywhere in the state to accommodate vacations or different living schedules during the summer.
  • New alternatives beginning in the fall of 2006 will allow students who have the skills to demonstrate them in a more individualized way. Students must have taken the high school WASL at least twice, however, to access these alternatives.

Tenth grade students will have two years to utilize these retake opportunities.

OSPI has developed a number of resources with students and families in mind. To learn more about Washington's academic standards and the WASL, please visit http://www.WASL2006.com. They also have developed sample WASL tests in reading and mathematics: http://www.k12.wa.us/assessment/WASL/
