Set Start Score using Existing Progress Monitoring Data – FastBridge

In the event that students do not have a Screening Score, and the Start Score is at 0, teachers have the ability to use the first administered probe’s score as the Start Score. This ability is only available if the student has a progress monitoring plan and there is no screening score. Including a Start Score creates a more accurate goal line. This article guides users through setting a Start Score.

Where to Start

Select the Progress Monitoring Tab.
Use the filters to filter student progress monitoring plans.
Select Start for the student who needs a Start Score.
