FASTBridge Information
What is the FASTBridge Screener?
This is a short, screening assessment that measures a broad range of skills for students at their grade level. This assessment is built to be efficient to capture a child’s current level in comparison to grade level benchmarks, along with a measurement for growth over a school year. Our district uses the FASTBridge Screening Assessment in grades Kindergarten through eleventh grade. These assessments provide an overview of how your child is progressing at a grade level benchmark three times throughout the school year.

How are the FASTBridge Math Screeners administered?
For grades Kindergarten through first grade, these assessments are given one-on-one with students to measure early numeracy and literacy skills. Students in grades second through eleventh, use their school issued device to complete an adaptive assessment (this assessment adjusts levels of questions based upon each response to a question).
