πINDIVIDUAL SCORE REPORTS FOR SPRING 2021 ASSESSMENTSπ
The Martin County School District has received students' individual score reports for Spring 2021 statewide assessments from the Florida Department of Education. Schools have sorted the reports - students' individual records will be sent home with them no later than tomorrow, October 4.
If your child took any of the following assessments last spring, please be on the lookout for the appropriate personal score report(s) in their belongings:
πEnglish Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics or Science Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)
πBiology, U.S. History, Civics or Geometry End-of-Course Exam (EOC)
If your child took one or more FSAs or EOCs last school year and you have not received their individual score report(s) by tomorrow evening, please contact their school for assistance. As the score reports are distributed to school districts in hard copy format from the Florida Department of Education, they will not be available for viewing in the FOCUS Parent Portal.
A celebration for students who earned a perfect score on one or more of their statewide assessments is being planned for later in the fall.
