Message from Dr. Reilly
Farney Families,
I hope you are all doing well. We continue to miss seeing our Farney Falcons! Please take the time to watch Dr. Henry's video that was emailed to our community on Friday. The link is below. I also urge you to continue to regularly check the district website for updates on this situation and how it impacts our school community. A picture is posted below of where to look on the district website for updates.
Homeroom teachers will be calling you this week to check in with your family. If you receive a call from an unfamiliar number, please answer since it could be your child's teacher. Many will be using Google phone numbers. You will also continue to receive weekly updates from your child's teacher. Although the district is open, all buildings are closed. Teachers will be available from home 9 am-2 pm Monday through Friday.
Beginning Monday, March 23, you will be able to access our online curriculum resources. The official district curriculum will be found on the district website under the “Learning at Home” icon (www.cfisd.net). You will be able to communicate with teachers if you need support with these resources.
Our elementary Learn at Home curriculum was developed by our elementary coordinators and will be supported in weeks to come by our elementary curriculum teams, so we will continue to follow our district scope and sequence for all grade levels.
The district is strongly encouraging students and parents to participate in the district curriculum to continue student learning. Students will have opportunities to engage in many online learning platforms and programs that track participation and data, but no grades will be given.
Each grade level site in the Learn at Home platform is full of resources for each content area. Accommodations and supports for students needing specialized instruction will be a part of these resources as well.
For students who do not have internet access, hard copies of the lessons will be distributed at the food distribution sites. Our curriculum coordinators and curriculum coaches are focused on writing curriculum for the hard copy packets as well as the online curriculum, all with added supports, accommodations and extensions for our students.
Teachers will also be viewing these resources for the first time on Monday, so please know that this is an adjustment for everyone. We will all be working differently and learning differently; however, we will all work together to help our students be successful!

Refunding Online Orders
If you purchased a pre-order package on our website you will receive another email from us confirming that we have started the refund, then you should receive your refund in seven to ten business days.
Refunding Check/Cash Orders
If you returned a pre-order form to your child's teacher please be on the look out for an email sometime next week. At this time we are not able to enter the school to access any forms received prior to Spring Break (they are locked safely in our PTO safe). Since we have not deposited those funds we will reach out to determine the best way to return that money to you.
Your patience is appreciated during the stressful time. We will be thinking of all our Farney families and our community during this time. Our board will continue to share updates through our Facebook group and newsletters. We look forward to supporting Farney staff and parents in the weeks to come.
If you have any questions or need further information please contact me at farneypres@gmail.com.
Thank you for all your support!
