Students in Spanish classes will be taking the STAMP assessment beginning next week. This is a proficiency based assessment used to show student growth, give students helpful information about their ability to use Spanish, and potentially qualify them for a Stamp of Biliteracy on their diploma. All testing will take place during Spanish classes and should not interrupt their other studies. If you have any questions, please contact Ashley or Rosa.
