Information for School Leads

• Materials for advertising the Seal of Biliteracy can be found in the linked folder below. This includes:

  • A Slide-Deck for an (optional) school-based student information session

  • A printable PDF Brochure

  • Fliers in B/W and Color

  • Information sheet for families in 12 languages

• Information for Students can be found on the Student Tab of this Site (navigate with the left-hand sidebar menu)

• Students and staff are reminded that: 

  • any student who wishes to be considered must apply in the current year to be considered for the Seal of Biliteracy. This includes students who may be using partial scores from last year, and those who have or will test by other means (like AP or IB Testing).

  • students must apply for each language with a separate submission of the application form. They may choose to change or to copy their open-ended statements, but a unique entry is required for record-keeping.

• Central Office staff will communicate the status your students' applications in a separately shared Google Sheet. Please email sealofbiliteracy@philasd.org if you need that link re-sent. 

  • *NOTE* This will update regularly, but not automatically, so if you need real-time confirmation, please refer students to the confirmation emails sent upon the submission of the Google Form.

Testing information for 2026 will be updated once available
