Spanish-Bilingual Language Assessment administered by the District.
TESTING PROCESS:
Many of our entry-level classifications use the same test(s) to assess
clerical skills. Therefore, if you apply for any other entry-level clerical
classifications, any valid scores will be certified and applied to other
classifications that you applied for as well.
If you have applied and recently tested for Parent Resource Assistant

met the 4 months re-take policy, you may not be able to re-test and have
to certify your prior scores.
The clerical skills assessment will assess your proficiency in Microsoft

skills.
You must receive PASSING SCORES on all TEST MODULES, for all the
assessments, to remain in the selection process.
Candidates who receive a failing score on any test module will NOT be
eligible to move forward in the selection process. If you have existing
scores for this assessment that are less than a year old, at the time of
final scoring, those scores are valid as well and could be applied as your
final score if they are higher.
The scored questionnaire, which you will be completing as part of the
application process, will be worth 100% of a candidate's overall score
and will be used to rank order candidates on the resulting eligibility list.
Therefore, when completing the questionnaire, please make sure you
provide detailed responses to all the questions/statements.
If you are successful on the clerical skills assessments and meet the
minimum education and experience requirement, you will be invited to
