CFBISD uses Parent Square to communicate if school closes
During the winter and spring, North Texas can experience bad weather. If those conditions make it necessary for CFBISD schools to be delayed or closed for the safety of students and staff, the district has procedures in place.
If schools are delayed or closed due to inclement weather:
- Families and staff will be notified through the district’s mass notification message system called Parent Square. The notification will begin with the words – Safety Alert.
- A Special Alert email newsletter will be sent to subscribers advising them of the decision. The notification will begin with the words – Safety Alert.
- An announcement will be posted on the district’s website, www.cfbisd.edu, as soon as the decision has been made.
- We will post messages on social media. The notification will begin with the words – Safety Alert.
CFBISD families and residents are advised to listen to local radio or television stations for updated weather reports. We will inform television and radio stations. It is their decision whether to air the information.
The district does post closing information on its TV station. Â CFB-TV is available on Time Warner Channel 98 in Carrollton, Time Warner Channel 95 in Farmers Branch or Channel 38 on Verizon in Carrollton. CFB-TV is also streamed lived on district’s website.
Parent Square – You can download the free mobile app for Android or iOS and you can also use it from a computer at www.parentsquare.com. Our goal is for every family to join ParentSquare.
