This program is reserved for Veterans Only.

COVID Notifications
COVID Notifications
The system for notifying parents of positive Covid cases identified in their student's class has changed for the 21-22 school year. If your child is in the same class as a student or staff member who tests positive, you will receive a notification. This is to alert you to be extra diligent with checking your child for symptoms; however, we know that all students should be monitored daily for any possible symptoms.
Thank you for helping to keep all students and staff safe.
We continue to encourage frequent hand washing and we continue to operate one-way hallways during school hours when there is more traffic than usual in the hallways.

November Counselors’ Update
Gobble Gobble Give Food Drive: We are asking for food donations for families in need over Thanksgiving Break. In order to give families a variety of food items, each grade level is assigned different types of food. (See flyer below.) Items will be counted and the grade level that brings the most will receive an extra recess!
Core Values: Core Essentials is a character development program that is introduced monthly to all students at McFee. Each word presented helps students develop values to shape students to be the best they can be. This month’s core value is Contentment: Learning to be okay with what you have.
GT Testing: CURRENT CFISD STUDENTS Gifted and Talented Screening Referrals are due by Nov. 30, 2021 for the mid-year testing cycle. If you feel your child is academically gifted, please contact Ms. Lambert to request testing. More information can be found at https://www.cfisd.net/domain/2373.
