Fastbridge Schedule & Plan:
Please take a minute to read below:  

Reminders for Fastbridge benchmark assessments:

  • If, for any reason, you feel a student's score is invalid, please contact the building principal and coach to discuss whether the test needs to be re-administered. Our district coordinator monitors if a test is taken more than once to ensure the validity of district-wide results. Teachers should not be deleting scores and re-administering assessments.

  •  Refrain from pre-teaching or practicing specific test items or passages.

Thank you for your help in maintaining the validity of our testing practices.
