INCOMING students (students NEW to CdM) who are trying to place into a level 2 class or higher in Spanish or French, or current CdM students not currently enrolled in a language but who are looking to begin a course of study above Level 1 must take a Languages Placement Test. (ASL students unsure about placement can contact Tammy Owney directly.)

Contact Ms. Ramirez at earamirez@nmusd.us or Ms. Pulido at spulido@nmusd.us to find out when testing is given or if you have any questions!

Students scheduled to take a placement test should come to the Main HS office. They will wait to be taken over to the testing location as a group. Testing starts at 12:30pm and lasts 45 min - 1 hour. Please bring a #2 pencil.
