HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021
CFISD LEARNING OPTION
If you would like to make a change to the learning option for your child(ren) for the 3rd grading period—from CFISD Connect to On-Campus or from On-Campus to CFISD Connect—the selection window will be open between Monday, Jan. 11 and Sunday, Jan. 17 through the Home Access Center. This change will be effective beginning Feb. 1 for elementary students. A separate questionnaire must be completed for each child needing a change. If your child is continuing with the same learning option for the 3rd grading period, then no action is required.
· Log in to the Home Access Center using your PARENT login/password, NOT the STUDENT login/password.
· Click the “Home” button. Select the “School Links” tab. Click the “Return to School Questionnaire – 2nd Grading Period.”
· You must use the parent login to see the “Return to School Questionnaire” in the "School Links" tab.
· If you do not see the “Return to School Questionnaire – 2nd Grading Period”, you may have used the student login instead of the parent login.
· If you do not have a parent login, please contact the Customer Care Center at 281-897-4357 or the registrar at your child’s campus.
