It is every students right to "opt-out" of a test. To do so, you can use these forms.

To: ________________________________, principal

     __________________________________ school;

My student, ____________________________, will not be participating in WASL testing during the current school year.  I understand that it is my legal right as parent/guardian to opt ______________________________ out of state testing. 
I also understand that the school will provide appropriate, alternative, learning activities during testing times.  I do not want any record of WASL testing in my student's permanent file.

It is unfortunate that the school will receive a zero for my student's untaken test, but this is the responsibility of the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.  Please contact OSPI with your concerns regarding this policy.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
