Credit by Exam
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.
To apply to take the test to skip kindergarten, a student must be 5 by September 1, and registered in 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 will qualify to advance one grade. 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 the school counselor.
A Note from the Nurse
Pine Needles Needed for Copeland's Outdoor Garden
It's that season when pine needles are falling everywhere. The Master Gardener would like to take advantage of people's unwanted pine needles to use for mulch for the garden. Donations may be placed in the garden close to the pergola.
