#1 FA2 WINDOW

The FA2 window is November 5th-9th.  Remember that all test forms (answer documents) will be printed at Central Office and delivered to each campus. This will be our second look at student performance, and as always, our response is key to student success!  Please review the #BRISD Instructions for RESPONDING to Formative Assessments 1819 and be prepared to discuss your response with your campus principal the week of November 12th.

All FA 2 test forms (answer documents) must be sent to admin by noon on Friday, November 9th to be scanned into DMAC, unless you choose to use the Online Response System. Test forms should be sent to Melissa Stiney via interoffice mail as soon as the initial assessment is complete. Makeup assessments can be sent as they are completed.
