FAST Progress Monitoring(PM) #1 - 

 As a reminder, PM1 covers content that students are expected to master by the end of the year for the subject and grade level assessed. Therefore, for beginning of year benchmarks, your student may not yet be at grade level; however, this does not necessarily means that a student is not on track to succeed.

Kinder – 2^nd grade students have completed the STAR assessment, which is the progress monitoring tool for Kinder – 2^nd grade students in SJCSD. 

• As a reminder, this is just one part of a student’s learning data. It is important that we use multiple pieces of data to ensure we know the full scope of a learner. 
• STAR assessment reports are available to view in HAC.

3^RD – 5^th grade students have completed the FAST PM#1 assessment, which is the progress monitoring(PM) tool for the state of Florida. 

• Below is the information needed to access your student’s FAST assessment report. 
  
• FAST assessment reports are available to view in the Family Portal - https://fl-familyportal.cambiumast.com
  
• Please take time to read through the FAST Facts to truly understand the report. 
• As a reminder, because this assessment is administered at the very beginning of the school year, it is designed to provide a baseline score so we can track student progress in learning the B.E.S.T. standards from Fall through Spring.

Middle School students will complete the FAST PM1 assessments this week. 

• Middle School assessment reports will be available to families in the FLDOE Family Portal  https://fl-familyportal.cambiumast.com
  
• Communication will be sent once reports are also available to view in HAC>

• We want to remind you of some bicycle safety tips you can review with your students as we start back to school! Looking forward to a great school year!
