Can you speak, read and write in a language other than English? Students can earn up to four high school credits and if you earn four, you qualify for the Washington State Seal of Biliteracy.
Tests are free for students. To register for a language test, students will need to log in with their SPS account.
The registration deadline is Wednesday, November 27. Students should practice writing before they take the test.
