The Junior Varsity took the court playing with the same intensity as they did in the tournament.  These ladies have grown in the game and their future looks bright.  The scores were 25-5, 25-9

The Varsity team is now 2-2 in district play.  We are focusing on discipline of the game and executing with determination to finish strong in the 1st half of District.  We had 14 Service Aces, 5 blocks and 30 kills.  Our Serve Receive was 97%.  That is a WOW factor!!!

Football:

We were on our BYE week.  We are preparing for our first District game against Colleyville Heritage.

Cross Country:

What would their Mudder say?

The 2018 Coppell Invitational was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Sinking in mud as deep as one foot in some parts of the course, the Newman Smith Cross Country team showed great heart on Saturday in conditions that can best be described as “character-building.” Due to the extreme amounts of mud that became encrusted on the automatic timing devices attached to the jersey bibs, only one third of all runners in the race were recorded as they crossed the line, so there are no official times or team scores. Despite that disappointment, this is sort of thing that the kids will talk about for years.  Here is the list of kids who participated:

Jimena Robledo

Leslie Sanchez

Brisa Westbrook

Eitsy Castro

Lesly Villamil

Jose Caro

Cristofer Trujillo

Ryann Montalvo

Carlos De Dios

Francisco Martinez

Johan Alcocer

Jose Gutierrez

Subhaan Bilal

Jonathon Rodas

Gregory Kashpureff

Carmine Marino

David Pelayo

Angel Santana

Bryan Torres

Angel Marquez

Mario Mendoza

Parker Cremeans

Tennis:

The Newman Smith tennis team continued its dominating ways by defeating Dallas Conrad with a score of 19-0. We are progressively improving and playing more consistent tennis each week. Next week we look to continue our winning ways against Dallas Bryan Adams on Tuesday.

Every CFBISD Secondary Student Will Have a Laptop for the 2018-2019 School Year

Every CFBISD Secondary Student Will Have a Laptop for the 2018-2019 School Year**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.
