11/19/09 > Cross Plains ISD Reports Highly Qualified Teachers

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that all core subject area teachers meet highly qualified (HQ) teacher requirements. Each district is required to publicly report the percentage of teachers meeting this status. Cross Plains ISD reports that, for the 2009-2010 school year, 95.5% of the core academic teachers in the district meet this federal requirement. Cross Plains ISD also reports that 100% of the district's instructional aides meet the HQ requirements. Cross Plains ISD has a commitment to recruit, hire and retain highly qualified teachers for every classroom in the district. For those teachers who do not meet the "highly qualified" status when hired, the district will work with the teacher and the certification entity in order to reach 100% HQ status. For more detailed information regarding the federal highly qualified teacher requirements, you may go to the internet at: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/nclb/hqteachers.html, or contact the school office at 254-725-6121. The TEA Highly Qualified Summary Report can also be found under the Required Postings section of the Document Manager on our district website.

8/11/09 > CPISD Traffic Procedures
As the new school year approaches, the administration of Cross Plains ISD would like to share information with the public about changes in procedures that will take effect when school starts on August 24.

In an effort to provide a safer environment for all students and staff, the drop-off points and procedures will be different this year. If you bring your student to school, the only area for dropping them off is in front of the school on Main Street. Upon arrival to school, elementary students will go to the cafeteria and high school students will go to the area between the office and library. The parking lot behind the cafeteria/auditorium area will become a one-way traffic area for busses. All vehicular traffic is to enter behind the auditorium (north end of the complex) and will exit between the Ag barn and gym. ALL traffic will move from north to south only.

The administration of Cross Plains ISD appreciates your acceptance and support of these procedures as we believe it will help to create a safer environment for all students.
