FastBridge Screening
Riverview Gardens students with SSD services in math and reading are assessed 3 times a year using FastBridge. These two assessments, aReading and aMath provide educators with information on how each student is progressing in the areas of math or reading. The assessments will be given between August 30th and October 8th. Please reach out to your child's case manager if you are interested in the results.
