HELLO
3rd Grade
Weekly Update, Families!
Hello Barracuda Families! This week, students will take the Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1) FAST Math Assessment on Wednesday. Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives at school on time so they are ready for testing.
Most importantly, please encourage your child to take their time, try their best, and show what they know!
Your child's Reading FAST scores have been posted! You can access your child's results by logging into FOCUS and selecting the Family Portal. You can also access the Family Portal directly here: FAST Family Portal. Your child's access code is their Student ID number, which can also be found in FOCUS.
We encourage you to log in and take a look at your child's Reading FAST results. Students will take their Math FAST Assessment on Wednesday, so be sure to check the Family Portal again Wednesday evening to see if your child's Math results have been posted as well.
Thank you for your continued support! As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
We're looking forward to another great week in third grade!
Ms. Feinberg and Mr. Vargas
