Dear Bobcat Families,

As we begin our first assessment cycle of the 2026–2027 school year, we want to make sure our families have important information regarding the PM1 Assessment Cycle.

The PM1 Assessment Window at Brooker Creek Elementary School will be September 1–25, 2026.

Please refer to the VPK, K–2, or 3–5 assessment letters below for important information specific to your child’s grade level. These letters provide an overview of the assessments students will complete during the PM1 assessment cycle.

Your student’s teacher will provide you with the specific date(s) of your child’s assessment(s), along with any additional information you may need.

Assessment data is an important part of our instructional process. It allows us to celebrate student growth, identify areas of need, and make informed decisions to ensure that every Bobcat receives the support and instruction needed to be successful.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are helping every Bobcat grow, learn, and reach their full potential!

Where Every Bobcat Counts! 🐾Should you have any questions regarding the PM1 Assessment Cycle, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Gerber.

Go Bobcats!

Your student’s PM1 Assessment results are now available for you to review.

To access your student’s results:

1. Log in to your Parent Portal.
2. Click on the Florida Statewide Assessments icon.
3. You will be directed to your student’s assessment results.

We encourage you to review these results to learn more about your student’s current academic performance and progress. Your child’s teacher will use this information, along with classroom data, to help guide instruction and provide appropriate support throughout the school year.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your student’s success at Brooker Creek Elementary School, where Every Bobcat Counts!

Help your child's teacher purchase classroom supplies, books, technology, student incentives, and more.
