Dear Parent/Guardian,



The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is a progress monitoring tool that will be administered three times per year to track your student’s progress in learning the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards throughout this school year. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your student’s score and achievement level for the PM1 administration of grade 6 -10 (FAST) ELA Reading and 6-8 Mathematics are now available on Focus under your child’s testing history.



These results are for informational purposes only and should be used to identify areas that may need additional instruction and support. For PM1, Individual Student Reports (ISR) are not available on the Family Portal.



Each progress monitoring test covers the full “test blueprint,” meaning that all content expectations for that subject and grade level are assessed. Therefore, for PM1, your student may not yet be at grade level; however, this does not necessarily indicate that a student is not on track to succeed. It is important for teachers and families to understand that PM1 score information is intended to provide baseline results; once your student participates in PM2 and PM3, you will be able to track the progress your student made throughout the school year.



For more information about student scores or the Family Portal, please visit https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fflfast.org%2ffamilies.html.&c=E,1,HqPF_q6Yy-dxjuQ60E1t_2sCtC-mBAn4EYmaPLpfv6LpgToIo4ry-HkCcuRj5F21pIzuXtBjhBD4VnqhI_q-qkOkFF4NJMSIocs64hDzPFyfO0n8Li0fDsw,&typo=1



If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact Sean Willett at [log in to unmask]



Sincerely,



Dr. Kelvin Norton
