Please read the following PDF about the new chromebook policy. The first round of chomebooks that were passed out during COVID did not come with a case, be advised that some will not have a case. You will not be charged for a case if your child was issued a chromebook without a case. The district has a list of what was issued to your student.

Transportations Changes
Early Release or Transportation Changes
In order to protect your children, we have a very firm policy regarding early release or transportation change of students. For the student’s protection, the following procedure will be used in the event you must pick up your child before regular dismissal:
The parent must send a note to the school with the child or if sent to pope@cfisd.net, it must include a picture Id of a parent/guardian indicating that the student will be picked up early or transportation change.
Phone calls will not be permitted for transportation changes. All requests must be in writing and should be sent to pope@cfisd.net by 3:00 p.m. Please include in the note/communication the date, time, and reason for the early release. Students bringing a note should take it to the front office when they arrive. He/she will receive an early release pass/sticker.
All persons, including parents, must show a picture ID to school personnel when requesting the release of a student. Parents cannot go into the classroom, cafeteria, onto the playground or any other area of the school to get your child.
- Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, etc. will not be allowed to pick up a child unless we have written permission from the parent. Picture ID must be shown to allow a student to leave with any person(s).
