Over 5,000 people packed the stands at Standridge Stadium for CFB’s first annual Community Pep Rally. Members of the CFB community enjoyed entertainment from the cheerleaders, drill teams, and bands of Creekview, Ranchview, Smith, and Turner High Schools. Members of the volleyball and football teams from each high school ran through their inflatable mascots to cheering crowds. CFB Superintendent, Dr. John Chapman III, greeted attendees and wished students and parents a great 2018-2019 school year. Bands from each high school played their respective fight songs as the community cheered them on.

**UPDATE** Over the past three years, CFB has purchased Chromebooks (grades 3-12) and iPads (grades PreK-2) to build the digital learning experience of students. Over three years, the Board of Trustees allocated approximately $7 million from local funds and from the Instructional Materials Allotment provided by TEA to purchase devices. The district phased in the devices to allow for incremental purchase and to create a reasonable replacement cycle. Teachers have received training in digital learning practices over the past several years to prepare for the eventual 1:1 roll-out. For 2018-19, CFB will launch 1:1 experience for students in grades 6-12.
Every 6th-12th grade student in CFBISD will begin the year with a Chromebook to use for schoolwork and homework. At this stage of the one-to-one technology program, each student will be assigned a laptop (Chromebook) that the student will take to each class and home in the evenings. Much like a textbook, the Chromebook will be checked out to the individual student.
In CFBISD, we believe technology can transform learning in a powerful way. Technology is designed to be used for any time anyplace learning. Having consistent access to a Chromebook allows teachers and students to engage in new and exciting learning opportunities.
Secondary campus personnel will communicate with parents and students regarding topics like the checkout process and care of the Chromebook. Student and parent questions will be addressed at Meet the Teacher Nights, Open Houses, Schedule Pick-Up Events and more.
All CFB middle and high school parents are invited to join us for a free 6-week class beginning Thursday, Sep. 6. We will have a weekly video series resulting from over 40 years of research and practice from the Love and Logic Institute. You will learn practical skills including:
