FAST Testing 

This will be students' third test of the year and will show how well your student has mastered the grade level content standards, and you will be provided with information about how to access the results after testing is completed. 


On May 2nd and 3rd Grades 3-6 will take FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) computer-adaptive tests a computer or tablet.  If you or your student would like to interact with the online testing platform or review FAST Reading and Mathematics sample items at home, sample test materials are available at https://flfast.org/families.html


On May 9th and 10th  Kindergarten-2 Grades will take the Renaissance Star Reading, and Star Math assessments. Each test is less than 30 minutes. Sample test items at home at https://flfast.org/resources/renaissance-star/renaissance-star.  


If your student leaves campus before completing a test (e.g., for lunch, an appointment), he or she will not be allowed to return to that test. If your student does not feel well on the day of testing, it may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please remember not to schedule appointments on testing days.


Students with accommodations may be tested on an alternate date due to scheduling.


Make sure your student eats a good breakfast on testing days.
