Polk Receives Highest Level of AVID Certification

Polk Receives Highest Level of AVID CertificationLast year, Polk Middle School was declared a national Demonstration Site for AVID.  Other campuses and districts have already been touring Polk to learn from the school-wide AVID culture.  Today, CFB learned that Polk Middle School was awarded “Schoolwide Site of Distinction.”  This is the highest level of AVID certification and is based both on Staff criterion (“Process Metrics” such as routine use of WICOR, the percentage of school leadership on the AVID Site Team, etc.) as well as Student criterion (“Impact Metrics” such as the percentage of students taking courses of rigor/pre-collegiate exams).

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a program offered in 47 states designed to engage students, build equity, and promote college-going culture for students who are traditionally underrepresented in the university setting.  Nationwide, 93% of AVID students complete four year college entrance requirements, 90% who apply are accepted into four year colleges, and 85% persist into the second year of college, far exceeding the national averages for these statistics.  AVID involves teacher training, leadership training, engaging strategies rooted in best practice, college exposure, SAT/ACT readiness, and engages college-age tutors to work with students on study skills and preparation under the supervision of the classroom AVID teacher.  CFB has AVID at all secondary campuses, with the exception of Barbara Bush Middle School (due to the International Baccalaureate Program).

Educational Foundation Awards Grants to Two CFB Teachers

Established in 1997, the CFBISD Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports CFBISD campuses, teachers, and students with dollars not otherwise available through State and Federal funding. The Foundation has awarded grants to two CFB teachers.

McCoy Elementary teacher, Nicole Bonilla, was awarded 2 grants for her project to get secondary materials and tools for students with autism and social and attention differences. She was awarded $1000 from the Kacie Brekhus Memorial Teacher Grant, and $1000 from the Frank Shor Impact Now! Fund. The Kacie Brekhus Memorial Grant is awarded each year to a CFB teacher who has a vision and plan to best support education opportunities for their students. Kacie Brekhus was a CFB Student from K-12th.  Kacie tragically passed away in automobile accident in her Freshman year at the University of Texas. There is a race held every year in her honor, which supports the CFBISD Special Olympics team. The 2019 race will be held on March 2.

The Frank Shor Impact Now! Fund is to provide financial/program assistance to students/program through the Impact Now! program.  To be eligible for consideration students must display promise and need in one of the following Impact areas:  Fine Arts, Science & Technology, Athletics, Workforce Readiness, Leadership Development, Special Education, and Student Support.   These funds are intended to improve supported students educational opportunities.

Blalack Middle School theatre teacher, Margaret Marrs, was awarded $1000 through the Valwood Improvement Authority Teacher Grant Fund. This grant is a general teacher grant fund open to all CFB teachers. The award is given for innovative programs that enrich students’ educational path. Ms. Marrs will be using the funds for the theatre’s “Harry Potter and the Theatre Design Project,” in which students will collaborate and create theatrical designs based on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book/script for an area of technical theatre which includes scenery, costumes, and publicity.
