Just as PowerSchool did in the past, this system offers enhanced features for monitoring your child's educational progress in real time with a user-friendly mobile experience. - [Chronic Health Conditions, Concussionand Screenings](https://cfci.net/chronic-health-conditions-concussionand-screenings/): When students enroll and at the beginning of every school year parents are asked to update their student's health history. Our goal is to make sure that health care concerns do not become a barrier to learning. After receiving additional information about the chronic health condition from the student's health care provider and/or parent, a health plan will be developed as needed and shared with appropriate staff. The school nurse may provide care directly to the student or train other school staff to give medications or assist with specialized health care procedures. - [Medication and Illness](https://cfci.net/medication-and-illness/): We realize there will be times when it is in the best interest to keep students home from school due to illness. Our goal is to provide a healthy environment for all students. Please contact the school nurse or child's healthcare provider if you are unsure if you should keep your student home. In the event that a student misses school due to illness or injury, please send an email to office@cfci.net. A doctor's note is required for the absence to be excused. - [School Health Requirements](https://cfci.net/school-health-requirements/): (number of doses may vary by age and when vaccinated) - [Accessibility statement](https://cfci.net/accessibility-statement/): We want everyone who visits https://cfci.net/ to be able to browse, understand, and use it — including people with disabilities and people who use assistive technologies. We treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time project. - [2024-2025 Board Meeting Minutes](https://cfci.net/2024-2025-board-meeting-minutes/): 2024-2025 Board Meeting Minutes   July 16, 2024 B.O.D.

When there are not enough drivers, we cannot go. The purchase of this activity bus will allow our children to explore more freely.
