New Journey
We are so proud of our Vivian Field Middle School 7th grade football teams! Both A and B teams represented at home showing determination and grit on September 10th 2018. For many of our boys, this was their very first football game, and we are so proud of their sportsmanship.
he Vivian Field Middle School Cheerleaders led the #Vivnation in their first cheer on September 10th 2018 during 7th grade football’s A and B halftimes. The girls have been working hard since the start of school to become performance ready, and it looks like their hard work is paying off! Great job cheerleaders!
Congratulations to our Vivian Field Middle School 7th grade volleyball team! On September 10th, the Lady Vikings defeated Polk Middle School in a nail-biter at their very first home game! The girls constantly worked together and never lost sight of their goal! Let’s go Vikings!
In early November of 2017, the students of the Vivian Field karate program were chosen to be the face of Kickstart Kids’ 25th Anniversary campaign. Helping to raise awareness of the program, foundation and it’s effect on the students it reaches.
Today, almost one year later, the photographers returned to the Vivian Field Middle School for another opportunity for our students. The North Texas Giving Day fund raiser for Kickstart Kids is fast approaching and, once again, we were chosen to to be the the face of the day, alongside the students of Perry Middle School and their instructor, Jessica Hellman.
Kickstart so graciously gifted us with a canvas print of our Vivian Field students from the 2017 photo shoot. There are only great things in store for our program and the fabulous kids of our own VivNation Kickstart program!
**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:

Field Middle School 8th grader, Juliana Rios, has been awarded a trip to Washington, D.C. Rios composed an essay for the Do The Write Thing Challenge 2018. Rios’ essay advocated for teens to play a role in violence awareness. Whether it’s through the music they listen to, TV shows they watch, or social media posts they engage in; Rios challenged young people, to pay a bigger role in taking action against violence. Students from across the country were asked to participate in the Do The Write Thing Challenge. Rios’ essay was one of two final selections from our area out of 370 competing entries in the same region. Rios will spend 4 days in Washington, D.C. with a parent, and Field Middle School’s Community in Schools representative, Brenda Flores. As part of her stay, she will participate in National Recognition Week activities. Her essay, along with other jurisdiction’s winners, will be published and distributed to business, community and governmental leaders. Rios will continue her academic journey at Early College High School next school year.
Nearly 70 employees from the Capital One Plano office spent the day beautifying the campus of Vivian Field Middle School. The employees, part of the Analyst Group in the Auto Finance Division, landscaped the front of the campus and painted the halls of the school.
Kevin Haynes, Capital One Community Service Team leader said, “We really like to reinvest back into our community.”
Capital One encourages its employees to give back to the local community through service projects each quarter. The culture of giving at Capital One was evident as the employees beautified the school.
Stephanie Jimenez, principal, said, “The partnership between the Capital One employees and CFBISD is an opportunity to engage in the betterment of their shared community.”
