Parent/Guardian Notifications
Parent/Guardian Notifications
Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, provide parents and families with the results of the reading readiness screener no later than 15 days after the assessment is scored in an understandable format that includes all of the following:
The pupil's score on the reading readiness assessment.
The pupil's score in each early literacy skill category was assessed by the reading readiness assessment.
The pupil's percentile rank score on the reading readiness assessment, if available.
The definition of “at-risk” and the score on the reading readiness assessment that would indicate that a pupil is at-risk.
A plain language description of the literacy skills the reading readiness assessment is designed to measure.
If a child is promoted to 4th grade without completing their personal reading plan, parents must be notified in writing along with a description of the reading interventions that the child will continue to receive.
All families will receive their child's results on all universal screening assessments not just the required Early Literacy Assessment. These results will be printed reports from the assessment and a letter explaining the results and all other required information related to special education and dyslexia. All communication will be translated into the family's preferred language.
*This is our practice on all universal and state-required assessments 4K-12 as we value our partnership with families.
In addition, AFASD staff will communicate and collaborate with families about the need for additional diagnostic assessments and the development and progress in the personal reading plan.
