Finding the Right Campus

Wear the Right Stuff – Dress Code & Standardized Dress
CFBISD has a district-wide Dress Code that is part of the Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, some campuses have mandatory standardized dress (some refer to this as “school uniforms”).
Transportation
Per school board policy, bus transportation is available for students that live more than 2 miles from their campus. The Transportation department plans out routes in cooperation with local municipalities to avoid construction zones. Bus routes begin to become available in early August. Routes can change frequently during the first few weeks of school as they are adjusted to meet rider needs that change each year. Check our transportation page for updates to bus routes for your student’s campus as they become available.

Meet the Teacher Nights, Parent Nights, Special Nights for Students, & Schedule Pick-ups

Community Pep-Rally and Carnival
Our second annual Community Pep-Rally will be held on Aug. 15, 7:30 – 8:30 PM. This year, we’ve added a carnival, which will be held 6 – 7:30 PM. Attendance is FREE. There will be games, prizes, food, drink and cool SWAG. This is a great way to get excited about the start of the school year. See great performances by our high school bands and more. Last year’s event was a packed house and this year will be even better.
First Day Photos!
We want to see those smiling faces of your Pre-K through 12th grade students as you document another memory of your child’s journey through school! Just a little Googling and you can get some great ideas for those photos. We’d love for you to share your children’s best First Day photos with us on our Facebook page, on Instagram (@cfbisd), or Twitter (@cfbisd) with the hashtag #cfbfirstday. Power tip: holding your phone sideways (horizontally) usually results in much better photos than shooting vertically and (hint-hint), are more likely to make it to CFB stardom on our homepage (wink-wink!). 🙂
This was no ordinary event
