SIS Login Directions/Report Card/Progress Monitoring Information
Students in Kindergarten through 10th grade recently finished taking the State’s new Progress Monitoring assessments in both reading and math. Your child will take three of these state-required progress monitoring assessments this year.
The purpose of these new assessments is to track student growth on all standards they are expected to learn, so they may not have learned all of the tested standards yet. You should expect your child to improve throughout the year on these tests.
The Florida Department of Education launched a new Family Portal where parents/guardians may access student State assessment results directly, and they anticipate the availability of the first Progress Monitoring results sometime in November. In addition, Palm Beach families may access results for students in grades 3-10 reading and grades 3-8 math through the SIS Parent Gateway. You can also find resource documents within the SIS Parent Gateway on how to understand the results of these new assessments.
You can find more information about the State’s new Progress Monitoring Assessments at https://sites.google.com/palmbeachschools.org/progress-monitoring/home.
Currently, we have some data available for K-5 students available in the SIS Parent Gateway. We will update families when additional data are available. In addition, parents you can access your student's report card information through SIS Parent Gateway as well.
