Thousands of high school students in Texas participate every year in this highly competitive academic competition. Each year, the Dallas Bar Mock Trail Competition provides students with the opportunity to work alongside professional lawyers and judges to get a real understanding of the American judicial system.

“I’ve been privileged to serve a judge for 30 years.  The level of skill and the strength of commitment shown by the teams have been consistently impressive.  Whatever profession these young people pursue, it is a pleasure to watch them in action as advocates and witnesses”Eben Price, State Farm Insurance Companies

Why Pre-K is Important for Your Child’s Academic Growth

I have taught PRE-KINDERGARTEN and kindergarten for many years. As a kindergarten teacher, I can tell within hours of meeting my new students who attended a certified Pre-K program! It’s that noticeable!

Students who attend Pre-K enter kindergarten with confidence and social, emotional, and academic skills that give them a head start in school. Enrolling your child in a Pre-K program is one of the best things you can do for their academic growth.

Why Enroll Your Child in Pre-K

Pre-k is a time for students to learn how school works and learn foundational skills they will need in kindergarten. In Pre-K, teachers spend time teaching students routines and procedures used in school. Students learn how to listen well, how to share, how to be patient, and how to participate. These are all skills that will prove tremendously helpful in your child’s transition to kindergarten.

For the 2017-2018 school year, CFBISD will offer full day, half day and tuition-supported Pre-K.

Tuition-supported Pre-K is a full day program that parents can choose to pay for their child to attend Pre-K even if they do not meet the federal requirements for the free program. Full day and tuition-supported are only available at specific campuses. Please visit our website to determine the right program for your child.
