Dear WLA Parents,
The end-of-year RISE assessment is approaching! This assessment provides valuable insight into your student’s strengths and areas for growth aligned with grade-level standards and is required for students in grades 3-8 and must be completed in person. If you received this email, you have not opted out of WLA testing by completing the Wasatch District form, and we are happy to include your student(s) in state RISE testing.
Each grade level will be assessed in the following subjects:
Grade 3: Math, Language Arts
Grade 4: Math, Language Arts, Science
Grade 5: Math, Language Arts, Science, Writing
Grade 6: Math, Language Arts, Science
Grade 7: Math, Language Arts, Science
Grade 8: Math, Language Arts, Science, Writing
We have several testing locations and dates available:
- Sandy, UT – Monday, April 13, and Tuesday, April 14, at the Canyons Administration Building, 9361 South 300 East, Sandy, UT, in the White Pine Conference Room.
- Ogden, UT – Tuesday, April 21 & Wednesday, April 22 in the District Office Rooms-Bldg. 2-PDC-A (40), 1950 Monroe Blvd, Ogden, UT 84401
- Springville, UT – Tuesday, April 28 & Wednesday, April 29, Summit Center, 165 S 700 E, Springville, UT 84663. Please enter on the west side of the building through the main entrance, as the rest of the building will be locked.
- Heber, UT – Wednesday, May 6 & Thursday, May 7 at the Wasatch Co. District Building 101 East 200 North, Heber City, UT
Each testing day will include a morning session from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and an afternoon session from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with a lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. We encourage students to attend the morning session on the first day to ensure they have enough time to complete all tests. While some students—especially those in 3rd grade—may finish on the first day, others may need both days. This year, we will provide lunch, and we will finalize the order the morning of testing.
If you would like your student to participate, please sign up for a date and location here:

Thank you for your support!
