Yearbook Photos
All students had the opportunity to have a Fall picture taken. These pictures will be used in the yearbook. Usually, we also have several volunteers who come to the building to capture pictures at school and in the classroom. Since we are strictly limiting visitors on campus, we would love to ask for your help in sharing school-related photos of your students with us for the yearbook!

Credit By Exam - CBE
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.
Connect Students may check out books from the library!
Upcoming Remote Learning Days
As you know, our district implemented Remote Learning Days one time per month in order to provide additional planning and preparation time for our classroom teachers. CFISD teachers are committed to providing quality instruction for their students and are working harder than ever to teach students both in-person and remotely.
CFISD identified the following future dates as remote learning days from home for all students:
March 12, April 12, May 17
(See revised 2020-2021 CFISD Instructional Calendar)
Please contact the campus directly if there is a need to request on-campus learning at school for a student on these designated remote learning days from home.
