Dear Parents and
Guardians:
The Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Board adopted a
universal screener assessment for use with all elementary school students in
kindergarten through grade 6. The universal screener assessment includes a
reading test and a mathematics test. Students in kindergarten will receive
screening for reading only. Students in grades 1-6 will receive screening for
both mathematics and reading. The purpose of this assessment is to identify
students who may have gaps in foundational literacy and mathematics skills.
Based on universal screener results, some students may require an additional
assessment to further diagnose the specific learning areas that may need
support. The universal screener reading test, together with any necessary
follow-up diagnostic assessments, also fulfills state testing expectations for
primary students. The universal screener and any necessary follow-up
assessments will be given at the beginning of the school year. Depending on
grade level and previous screener performance, students may receive screening
again in the winter and/or in the spring. For the expected dates when your child will test, please
contact your child’s teacher. Additional information, including a short video,
about the universal screener in FCPS can be found at this webpage: https://www.fcps.edu/node/33718. If
you have further questions about this assessment, please contact your child’s
teacher or one of the assistant principals.
