My child,____________________________, will not be participating in any WASL assessment during the current school year. It is my legal right as parent/guardian to opt my child out of any state tests or assessments.

Please provide provide appropriate, alternative non-WASL learning activities during administration of the WASL.

It is unfortunate that your school will receive a zero for my child’s WASL score, but this policy is the responsibility of the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Please contact them with your concerns regarding this policy.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
