CFISD Recommended Boundary Changes
On Monday, November 14th, recommended boundary changes were proposed to the Board of Trustees. Although Swenke Elementary will not be losing any students, we will be gaining some students from other schools in Fairfield. Please take a look on the district website for more information. Community input on the proposed boundary changes may be submitted on the website and will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees and district leadership. Click on the CFISD picture for more information.

CREDIT BY EXAM INFORMATION
· CREDIT BY EXAM: The State Board of Education has established procedures to allow elementary students to “skip” one grade level by taking a series of exams which assess the Texas Essential Knowledge/Skills (TEKS) established for that grade level. Parents interested in having their children screened for credit-by-exam should contact their school counselor. If the school is unable to answer a question, please email the Testing Office at creditbyexam@cfisd.net. 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.
