Credit by Exam
Students in grades K-5 will have four opportunities during the school year to use “credit by-exam” to accelerate to another grade level. Students will only have one opportunity to test for each grade level considered.
To apply to take the test to skip kindergarten, a student must be 5 by September 1, and registered in a CFISD school. To apply to take the test to skip grade 1, a student must be 6 by September 1, and enrolled in a CFISD school.
Students who earn scores of 80% or better on each component of the credit-by-exam will qualify to advance one grade. Only one grade level may be “skipped” each year. No retests will be given.
If you are interested in getting more information about the summer test for credit-by-exam, please contact the school counselor.Note from Walker Clinic
Please remember to pick up any medication your student may have in the clinic by May 30th. Medications are not stored over the summer and will be disposed of on the last day of school after the bell rings. Thank you and enjoy your summer!
