Medication Pick-Up
As the end of the school year approaches, we would like to remind you to pick up any medications you provided to the school clinic this year. According to CFISD Board policy FFAC (local), medications must be retrieved from the clinic by a parent/guardian or designated responsible adult. Please plan to pick up your student’s medications by May 25th no later than 3:00 p.m. Medications not collected by this deadline will be disposed of according to CFISD policy. Please email the school nurse to schedule an appointment to pick up the medication or let us know that we can go ahead and dispose of the medication at the end of the year.

Thank you,
Nurse Galey

Credit By Exam
Students in grades K-8 will have four opportunities during the school year to use “credit-by-exam” to accelerate to another grade level or accelerate in math only. Students are permitted to have one opportunity to test for each grade level or math course considered. Only students in grade 2-5 may accelerate in Math only.
To apply to take the test to skip kindergarten, a student must be 5 by September 1, and registered with 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 for grade level acceleration will qualify to advance one grade. Students who earn a score of 80% or better on the math credit-by-exam assessment will qualify to advance one grade level in math. 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 your school counselor.
