The F.A.S.T. Pass
What is a F.A.S.T pass?
The Acronym F.A.S.T. stands for Families and Schools Together. The pass is a form given to all Livingston Parish Public School teachers by the Family Intervention Library. It is intended for teachers to fill out for any child that a teacher feels may be having trouble with a skill covered in the classroom or that could benefit with additional help at home. It is also filled out for children that need more challenging activities. It simply allows us at the FIL to help suggest materials that target those skills listed on the pass.
Do I need a FAST pass to visit the FIL?
Parents do not need a FAST pass to use the center. Parents may visit any time during our hours of operation to browse through our learning materials and check out items to use at home with their child.
