Seattle Public Schools - March, 2023
March is Here!
March is here and can be an intense time of budget conversations, planning for next year and also focusing on all that is still in front of you for this year. Take care of yourself and reach out to colleagues or me if helpful to check-in. Hope you are enjoying brighter mornings and longer evenings.

World language credit testing dates & site-based testing for 2022-2023
At this time district testing registration is closed for the remainder of the year because of the large amount of students that have signed up. If you know of a senior in need of testing, please reach out. You can also host testing at your school. Reach out for more details.
Interested in hosting a testing date at your school? Please contact tbwilliams@seattleschools.org to discuss details and schedule a date for this spring. Last year over 10 schools hosted site-based testing days. Thank you educators for leading this work!
