Principal's Message

I am so happy to be back at CFT this week and out of quarantine. Reconnecting with staff and students has filled me up and brightened my days. My gratitude was amplified in my absence, and coming back, even after only a week away, feels like coming home.


It also reinforced for me the importance of taking steps to stay healthy as the weather changes and cold and flu (and COVID now) season sets in. Below are a few things we can all do to help minimize the spread of winter illnesses at CFT:


  • Washing hands before meals and after touching frequent contact surfaces such as bus railings, door knobs, and countertops.
  • Staying home with a cough, vomiting, diarrhea or other severe symptoms of illness.
  • Staying home until we are fever free without medication for 24 hours.


Our collective safety and wellness is a strong priority for all of us at CFT, and I know that working together, we will have a healthy winter.

Mensaje de la Directora

Estoy muy feliz de estar de vuelta en CFT esta semana y salir de la cuarentena. Volver a conectarme con el personal y los estudiantes me ha alegrado mis días. Mi gratitud se amplifico en mi ausencia, y regresar, incluso después de solo una semana de ausencia, se siente como volver a casa.

También reforzó para mí la importancia de tomar medidas para mantenernos saludables a medida que cambia el clima y comienza la temporada de resfríos y gripe (y COVID ahora). A continuación se presentan algunas cosas que todos podemos hacer para ayudar a minimizar la propagación de enfermedades invernales en CFT:
  • Lavarse las manos antes de las comidas y después de tocar superficies de contacto frecuente, como barandas de autobuses, perillas de puertas y mostradores.
  • Quedarse en casa con tos, vómitos, diarrea u otros síntomas graves de enfermedad.
  • Quedarnos en casa hasta que estemos libres de fiebre sin medicamentos durante 24 horas.


Nuestra seguridad y bienestar colectivos es una gran prioridad para todos nosotros en CFT, y sé que trabajando juntos, tendremos un invierno saludable.
