FCAT 2.0 will assess content taught in lower grades although not retaught in 5 th.

Common Core State Standards Connections Currently we continue to use the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS); however, during teaching and learning, whenever applicable connections to Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics need to be established. Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides All benchmarks should be taught since they are foundational for the next grade level.
