We’re off to a fantastic start this school year! Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work through the early routines. The car line is moving more smoothly, buses are arriving closer to their scheduled times, and breakfast and lunch lines are running efficiently. Student safety remains our top priority, and we truly appreciate your cooperation during this transition.
We’re currently wrapping up the first round of the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) testing, as well as the initial i-Ready Diagnostic assessments. These progress monitoring tools will be administered three times throughout the year to help us track your child’s growth in alignment with the Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards.
Once all assessments are completed, results will be available for you to view in your child’s FOCUS portal. If you and your child would like to explore the FAST online testing platform or review sample items for Reading and Mathematics at home, you can find helpful resources at: http://flfast.org/families.html.
If you have any questions about your child’s academics or classroom experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their teacher directly.
