8th Annual Superintendent's Fun Run
Saturday, May 1st is our eighth annual Superintendent’s Fun Run! Registration for the virtual event is still open. With last year’s contribution of $120,000, we established a Cy-Fair Educational Foundation endowment, so let’s raise funds for student scholarships again this year!
Credit By Exam - CBE
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 credit-by-exam, please contact the school counselor.
Upcoming Remote Learning Days
As you know, our district implemented Remote Learning Days one time per month in order to provide additional planning and preparation time for our classroom teachers. CFISD teachers are committed to providing quality instruction for their students and are working harder than ever to teach students both in-person and remotely.
CFISD identified the following future dates as remote learning days from home for all students:
April 12, May 17
(See revised 2020-2021 CFISD Instructional Calendar)
Please contact the campus directly if there is a need to request on-campus learning at school for a student on these designated remote learning days from home.
