Find out more on your child and the FCAT
FCAT scores came in, and you can do more than just look at a piece of paper and a number from 1 to 6.
Look in your kid's backpack and pull out the sheet of paper, which will direct you to the web site www.FCATParentNetwork.com.
The sheet also will have your child's own personal password, which will lead you to more detail info on how your son or daughter did, including how many questions they got right on each segnment -- which gives you a clue as to what you need to improve upon.
