BENCHMARK TESTING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY: Please read the document at the link below whether your grade level is testing or not. There is a schedule change of large group times that all staff needs to be aware of. Additionally, the procedures we plan to use for STAAR testing are listed. Those procedures that are highlighted in GREY will be in place for STAAR, but not in place for the Benchmark tests. We want you to be able to plan ahead and prepare students for what will be happening both on Benchmark testing days as well as STAAR testing days. There will be no lunch visitors on Benchmark testing days.

Superintendent's Fun Run
Saturday, March 2, 2019 is CFISD’s sixth annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival at the Berry Center. The event features an exciting new 5k course - THROUGH OUR VERY OWN TOWNE LAKE, a 1-mile path through Cy-Fair FCU Stadium, family games, vendors, food trucks and fun for the entire community.
The fun run is an excellent opportunity for CFISD employees from every campus to connect and compete in a healthy and fun environment while raising scholarship funds for the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. Last year’s contribution of $100,000 established CFEF’s endowed Superintendent’s Fun Run scholarship, and together we can match this contribution!
Dr. Henry will host a reception with cake and punch for the high school, middle school, elementary school and department with the highest percentage of staff and student participation. Employees who aren’t able to attend the event can contribute with a $10 sleep-in pass, and registration is open now!
