Services for English Learners is excited to offer the SLIP and STAMP assessments again this school year to all NCSD high school students grades 9-12. This fall's exams will be held on:
- STAMP: Friday, November 4, at Clackamas High School
- (Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, German)
*Romanian and Vietnamese language assessments will only be offered once this school year.
The STAMP (STAndards-Based Measurement of Proficiency) and the SLIP (Second Language Inventory Protocol) are proficiency-based assessments that award students up to 4 high school elective credits (AR) for knowledge of a language other than English. In conjunction with meeting the Essential Skills of reading and writing in English, students are able to use the SLIP and STAMP to demonstrate literacy in a partner language and fulfill the requirements to earn the State Seal of Biliteracy at graduation.
The cost of the exam is $35 for SLIP and $25 for STAMP. Scholarships are available.
This year we will be expanding our language assessment offerings by adding Korean and Tagalog to our spring assessment opportunities. More information on the SLIP and STAMP assessments and the State Seal of Biliteracy can be found on the Services for English Learners webpage.
In order to streamline our process of registration, the student or student's parents/guardians must register online with their name, ID number, school and language. Space is limited, so please encourage students to sign up early.
