Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
We would like to inform you that your child’s results from the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) progress monitoring are now available.
FAST assessments are administered three times each school year (PM1, PM2, and PM3) and provide valuable insight into your child’s progress in Reading and Mathematics based on Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards. These results help both families and educators track academic growth and tailor instruction to meet each student's needs.
📊 What’s Included in the Report
Your child’s scores from the most recent FAST progress monitoring window
Performance level and expectations
Progress comparison to previous assessments (if applicable)
Highlights of strengths and areas for growth
🔍 How to Access the Results
You can view your child’s FAST results by visiting the Florida Department of Education Family Portal
You’ll need the secure access code provided by your child’s school. If you do not have this code, please contact us.
If you prefer a printed copy or need help accessing the portal, please reach out to Cynthia Dawson, Vice Principal, at Dawson.cyntha@brevardschools.org
Accessing Results Through Focus
Results can also be found by clicking on the Florida Statewide Assessments link on your child’s Focus Portal.

🧭 Understanding the Scores
FAST assessments do not affect report card grades.
They are one part of a bigger picture that includes classwork, projects, and teacher feedback.
The results help us personalize support and instruction for your child.
