What is being done to help students get the skills they need to pass the WASL?
The state Legislature has given school districts across the state money for new programs to help students who have not met standard on one or more WASL assessments taken in grade 10 in reading, writing, or math. The “Promoting Academic Success” (PAS) assistance may include, but is not limited to, summer school, Saturday classes, before- or after-school classes, skills seminars, test preparation seminars, and in-school or out-of-school tutoring. The Puyallup School District is also budgeting other revenue this year to offer extended learning opportunities for students in all grades. Teachers and counselors are partnering with families to ensure that students are on track to graduate and prepared for the next steps after high school.
