The Seal of Biliteracy, supported by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), honors students who have demonstrated proficiency in two languages, one of which must be English.
At Longmeadow High School, Seal of Biliteracy testing is administered after school from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. across two afternoon sessions in October, two in February, and two in April.
The assessment is offered to seniors beginning with the fall testing window. Juniors are encouraged to participate during the April session.
Students who meet the criteria for the Seal of Biliteracy will have this achievement recorded on their permanent academic transcript, receive official score documentation, and be awarded a certificate of recognition from Longmeadow High School.
All participants will receive formal documentation indicating their level of language proficiency.
World Language teachers will present information about the exam to seniors and guide them in joining the Seal of Biliteracy Google Classroom for further details, registration links and preparation resources.
