The state has scheduled the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) dates so students can get their results before the end of the school year. Sophomores need to attend school on those test dates; those who miss school on one or more of the testing dates will be able to take make-up tests in mid-August. See the schedule below for August make-up test dates.
Two-hour late start for high school students who are not testing
All high school students who are not taking the HSPE will have a two-hour late start on the testing dates. However, school buses will continue to run on regular schedules. If students ride the school bus during these testing dates, they will catch the bus at its regularly scheduled time. Planned activities will be available for students who arrive at school before the two-hour late start time.
For more information about the HSPE and high school graduation requirements, please visit the website of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) at www.k12.wa.us.
