VISION STATEMENT
All Students will meet the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) at the satisfactory or advanced level and graduate college-ready and/or workforce ready without remediation.
MISSION STATEMENT
Together with families and community we commit all district resources to guide the learning of each student to graduate as: A responsible individual A passionate life-long learner A complex thinker An effective communicator
Career Assessment and Planning
Today, and in the future, students will need high-level workplace skills and knowledge, and they will need to use their personal resources and assets for career stability. Their economic security and financial independence may be the result of the educational or career choice they make today. Achieve Texas/Bridges Career Pathways provides broad areas of study, flexible enough to allow students to change as they acquire new knowledge and experience. Using students interests and aptitudes identified in the 8th and 9th grades, parents, counselors, teachers, or other district professionals can help students develop a graduation plan in an appropriate pathway. C-FB ISD provides each 8th grader the opportunity to use the Achieve Texas/Bridges Career Program to develop his/her long range academic and career goals. The assessment and planning features of this program give access to an Interest Profiler that allows students to measure their occupational interest and explore future work possibilities. The program also has a Transferable Skills Checklist which helps students develop career plans as they understand requirements of the profession that relate to data, people and activities. Students use the Work Importance/Work Values Sorter to explore job/career satisfaction issues. In addition, students are able to assess skills they can successfully perform by using the Bridges Basic Skills Survey. The Bridges Ability Profiler demonstrates the relevance between aptitude scores and the world of work and ensures that each 8th grade student has a detailed understanding of his/her abilities in arithmetic reasoning, computation, vocabulary, three-dimensional space, name comparison and object matching. These assessment and planning tools help students as they prepare to move from middle school to high school. During the school year, counselors and teachers will work with 8th graders to help them navigate through the process of developing a 4-year plan for attending high school. Students and parents will be able to access their students profile 24 hours a day and 7 days a week by using a computer.
