FAST Testing
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 of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards throughout this school year. Please make sure to come to school on time and eat a good breakfast on testing days.
Students who receive accommodations beyond what can be provided in the classroom may have a different testing date due to scheduling.

Treasurer's Report
PTO provided funds for the teacher's holiday party at Kiwi Club and will be providing the entire school staff with a holiday lunch from Cuban Island on 12/19.
