Are we open or closed?
How to find out if schools are closed
Cold weather has finally arrived, bringing with it the chance of icy roads and conditions. 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 Blackboard Connect.
- We will send a Special Alert email newsletter to subscribers advising them of the decision.
- CFB will post an announcement on the district’s website, www.cfbisd.edu, as soon as their is a decision regarding openings/closures.
- We will post messages on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
CFBISD families and residents can to listen to local radio or television stations for updated weather reports.
Local media outlets also post information on their websites, so families and other residents may want to check those sites for the latest weather information.
