CCI Fall Chocolate Sales
We are very grateful for the support our CCI families have shown with the Chocolate Fundraiser. Thank you so very much. Our dedicated PTA is busy organizing all of the "behind the scenes" things so kiddos are able to receive the prizes they earned.
If you have Chocolate money at home, please send it in to ensure your child earns the prizes they should be awarded for each benchmark sale!.
If you have questions, please reach out to our wonderful CCI PTA. cedarcreekintpta@gmail.com
Safe. Respectful. Responsible.
Reward: Open seating during their lunch time with school appropriate music playing.
Scoliosis Exams
If you have questions, please let Nurse Kelley know. kterrazas@bisdtx.org
Fall Picture Retake Day
If you would like to pre-order visit: http://mylifetouch.com code: EVT4RFCBH
If your child was absent, or you prefer another look for their yearbook photo, this is the day!
It's simple: Just let the teachers know your kiddo will need a retake and we will take it from there. If absent on the first picture day, students will automatically be scheduled for a photo.
Cell Phones & Social Media
- Make sure your child's social media accounts are private.
- Skim through text messages to make sure your child is being responsible with communication.
- I would suggest blocking any names/numbers/communication from folks you do not personally know or recognize.
We are seeing an increase in communication that is not representative of our hard working families! Tell your kiddo to: Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible with their electronics.
Austin Regional Science Fair
- The Science Fair is optional and not required.
- Projects should be completed at home by the students, with reasonable support/guidance from parents.
- CCI students should start thinking about their topic of choice.
- Science Fair interest forms are due to CCI's front office by December 13th. Hard Deadline.
- If you would like a Science Fair packet, please let me (A. Hall) or your child's science teacher know. Packets will be in the front office and made available to all students, if needed.

Afternoon Car Rider
Starting November 29th, the Monday we return from Thanksgiving Break, CCM will have a different traffic flow process. It is our sincere hope this helps with CCI's car rider dismissal process. Please see the diagram below. Also, please note:
- Students will not be released to walk to Voss Parkway to catch a ride.
- Walkers must have a walkers pass and also be legitimate walker to the nearby neighborhood.
- CCI students will not be allowed to walk to CCM to wait for their ride - CCM students should be picked up at CCI.
- Students are not chaperoned after 4:45 p.m. If waiting for a ride, they will be left unattended.
Please let me know if you have clarifications or questions. ahall@bisdtx.org

Student COVID Quarantine
- Google Classroom - counted absent; however, absences are excused. Students log in and complete work on their own. Work is aligned with grade level subject areas and topics. Students will not receive live instructional support.
Students that have symptons or have been exposed to a close contact have the option to quarantine. During quarantine, there are two options:
- Your student continues to attend school in person.
- Google Classroom - counted absent; however, absences are excused. Students log in and complete work on their own. Work is aligned with grade level subject areas and topics. Students will not receive live instructional support.
Car Rider Reminders
- Please do not text and drive.
- Have backpacks, lunch kits, etc. with the student once parked. Please make sure items are organized for a quick enry/exit of the vehicle.
- Please pull allllllll the way to end of your drop off/pick up area so more cars are able to unload/load.
Afternoon car riders are dismissed at 3:50 p.m. Cars are given priority to pick up students and not "walk ups".
Walkers need permission and a walkers pass from the front office. Students may not walk home or to cars without a pass. Walkers are released as the car rider area becomes safer. This is usually around 4:10 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.
