Crutchfield's Corner
Parents, Guardians, and Families,
USD 232 is implementing FastBridge Learning Assessments to help identify students who need targeted academic instructional support in the areas of reading and math. Additionally, we will utilize a social-emotional screening tool called SAEBRS (Social, Academic and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener). “Screening” is the process of monitoring student academic and behavioral development three times during the course of a school year. This helps identify students who demonstrate appropriate growth in core instruction, as well as those who require additional, more intense support to be successful. Each screener assessment is designed to take 7-30 minutes, depending on the particular grade and subject.
All students will complete initial screening assessments during the winter testing window, November 26th through December 14th, and again during the Spring to ensure they meet identified goals and progress. After giving FastBridge assessments during the Winter window, we will determine further diagnostic assessments and progress monitoring necessary to identify instructional needs for individual students. We review screener results and consider it contextually, with additional data related to a student’s performance, to organize and
appropriately plan targeted instruction for each student. If your child is identified as needing additional support(s),we will review detailed information, including the plan for intervention instruction, with you in a timely manner.
We will share screener data results with parents in January. In the meantime, if you would like more information on the FastBridge assessment system, you can visit the following links:
