POOL CLOSURE<br />

<strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Village</strong> Pool, originally scheduled to open for weekends on May<br />

2 nd , will be closed until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.<br />

We will inform you just as soon as it is safe to have the pool open.<br />

TRASH PICKUP<br />

Best Trash, our trash company, is still continuing to pick up both<br />

recyclables (Monday) and regular trash (Monday & Thursday). However,<br />

they have asked us to do the following to keep their employees safe:<br />

1) All waste should be placed in plastic bags and tied off to avoid any<br />

direct contact with the garbage.<br />

2) Recycling can still be placed loose in the container; however, Best<br />

Trash is asking if anyone in your household is exhibiting symptoms of<br />

a transmissible illness, please place any recyclables in plastic bags and<br />

dispose of with regular garbage.<br />

3) Whenever possible, please mulch leaves and grass clippings instead of<br />

bagging them for disposal.<br />

4) Limit the amount of pruning and tree trimming to only what is essential.<br />

5) If utilizing a landscaping company, ensure all green waste is collected<br />

and hauled off by the contractor.<br />

Because residents are at home more, Best Trash is experiencing an<br />

increase in solid waste, which results in some service delays. They are<br />

hoping to continue full service, unlike other trash companies. It is<br />

hopeful that the <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Village</strong> residents will be vigilant with their trash<br />

collection to avoid any service delays/interruptions.<br />

HOWDY NEIGHBOR! IMPORTANT NOTE:<br />

Thank you to those who have cleaned your bronze street number plate<br />

on your home exterior. PLEASE make sure your house number is visible<br />

from the street. You might need to lower the shrubs that are blocking the<br />

visibility of your house numbers. Or polish/clean the plate. This is very<br />

important because in the event an emergency vehicle needs to find you<br />

and can’t, it might be critical in time lost.<br />

RESIDENTS:<br />

It has come to our attention that many residents are leaving their<br />

grass clippings and shrub clippings out on the curb for days before the<br />

assigned trash pickup. Our trash days are on Monday and Thursday.<br />

Either change your scheduled yard mowing to coordinate with the trash<br />

days OR remove the grass and tree trimmings to the back of your fence or<br />

in your garage until the evening before trash pick-ups.<br />

It is a deed violation to leave your grass clippings or tree branches out<br />

days early. DON’T SWEEP OR BLOW GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET<br />

GUTTERS. It clogs our drainage system.<br />

DEED RESTRICTION INFORMATION:<br />

paint, warped, bent, sagging or which have otherwise deteriorated must<br />

be promptly repaired or replaced.<br />

2. Landscape Lighting: Exterior landscape lights shall be permitted with<br />

the Committee’s approval so long as the lighting is located within flower<br />

beds, shrubs and/or trees and all of the wiring is buried. All landscape<br />

lights must be white in color. The Board reserves the right to require the<br />

removal or modification of lights which it reasonably determines to be<br />

annoying to neighbors. (i.e. shining in neighbors windows; lights on all<br />

night; too bright of wattage)<br />

3. Birdhouses: Birdhouses shall be permitted without the approval of the<br />

committee subject to: it must be installed in the rear of the lot only; no<br />

birdhouse shall be larger than two feet in width, two feet in length and<br />

ten feet in height; the birdhouse can’t be visible from the street in front of<br />

the lot; the materials and colors must be harmonious with the home and<br />

other improvements on the lot.<br />

4. Garage Conversions: No conversions of any kind will be allowed.<br />

Detached multi-story garages shall not be acceptable. No carports shall<br />

be acceptable.<br />

5. Window Coverings: All window coverings (i.e. drapes, blinds, shades,<br />

etc.) which are visible from the exterior of the residence must be a<br />

neutral, earth-tone color which must also blend with the exterior color<br />

of the home. “Temporary” coverings (i.e. sheets, blankets, towels, etc.)<br />

must be removed within 30 days of closing on the sale of the lot. Paper,<br />

foil, cardboard or other “non-standard” window covering materials are<br />

BOARD APPROVES AMENDED <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

INSTRUCTIONAL CALENDAR<br />

June 16, <strong>2020</strong>—The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the calendar<br />

committee’s recommendation to modify the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 instructional<br />

calendar during its regularly scheduled meeting on June 16.<br />

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in a loss of 52 instructional<br />

days that comprised 30 percent of the instructional calendar, Texas<br />

Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath suggested school<br />

districts consider modifications to an instructional calendar that:<br />

minimizes disruptions; adjusts for learning loss; provides remediation;<br />

provides dedicated learning time focused on struggling students; helps<br />

minimize the “summer slide;” and includes extra days and weeks for<br />

make-up time due to the potential resurgence of COVID-19.<br />

In response, the calendar committee recommended an amended<br />

calendar that: features the same start date (Aug. 24) and planned<br />

professional days/holidays as previously approved; allots 15 minutes of<br />

additional instructional time for elementary and middle schools and 10<br />

minutes of additional instructional time for high schools, which would<br />

provide for 30 minutes of focused instruction each day for all students;<br />

and reserves makeup dates from June 1-30 due to a potential additional<br />

loss of instruction due to COVID-19.<br />

The amended calendar features 79,200 total instructional minutes, an<br />

increase of 3,600 minutes from the previously approved <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

calendar—the equivalent of eight additional instructional days being<br />

built into the school year. To download a modified <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school<br />

calendar, visit the CFISD website at www.cfisd.net/en/calendar/.<br />

MORE THAN 8,700 CLASS OF <strong>2020</strong> CFISD<br />

for Cypress Park High School, which opened in 2016 with only ninth grade<br />

the stadium and Berry Center. All individuals were screened upon entry<br />

for signs or symptoms of possible COVID-19 and each graduate was<br />

limited to a maximum of four guests. Graduates were also provided a<br />

mask displaying their respective school logo. In addition, CFISD and Berry<br />

Center personnel sanitized the entire complex following each graduation<br />

ceremony. Each commencement exercise was highlighted by remarks and<br />

addresses from each campus principal and student representatives from<br />

every graduating class. Selected representatives also led the Pledge of<br />

Allegiance and performed the national anthem.<br />

In addition to the nearly 35,000 guests who attended the commencements<br />

at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium, a record number of others watched the graduation<br />

ceremonies through live streaming on the CFISD Live stream account.<br />

The live stream generated 135,574 total views from all 50 states and<br />

Washington D.C. and 154 different countries as of June 7 th . Combined<br />

with more than 23,363 views on the CFISD YouTube page, total streams<br />

amounted to nearly 159,000 views.<br />

The 2019-<strong>2020</strong> school year marked the 13 th year for graduation<br />

ceremonies to be streamed live for the public.<br />

RECORD $120,000 RAISED FOR<br />

SUPERINTENDENT’S FUN RUN AND FESTIVAL<br />

Through tremendous generosity, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD staff, students,<br />

community members and business partners came together to raise $120,000<br />

for the seventh annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival. The fundraiser,<br />

originally scheduled for March 21 st at the Berry Center and Cy-Fair FCU Stadium,<br />

was canceled due to the spread of COVID-19. CFISD presented a check of the<br />

record amount to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF) on May 6 th .<br />

In response, numerous CFISD staff members and students and<br />

community members performed their own “virtual” runs or walks on<br />

March 21 st , posting and sharing photos on social media.<br />

Woodard Elementary School was recognized as the top contributing<br />

CFISD NAMES NEW ASSOCIATE<br />

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS<br />

June 4, <strong>2020</strong>—Virginia Flores, assistant principal and former head girls’<br />

basketball coach at Cypress Woods High School, was recently named the<br />

new associate director of athletics. Flores replaces Sharon Farrah, who<br />

retired following a 38-year career in education.<br />

Flores served as the first head girls’ basketball coach at Cypress Woods,<br />

starting the program in 2006. She led the Wildcats to the postseason nine<br />

consecutive years (2009-2017), capturing three district championships<br />

and appearing in two regional tournaments. Her coaching career<br />

culminated in Cypress Woods winning the UIL Class 6A state<br />

championship in 2015.<br />

In 2017, Flores transitioned into educational administration, assuming<br />

her current role.<br />

“We are excited about the addition of Virginia Flores to our CFISD<br />

athletic department team,” said Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics.<br />

“Virginia will bring great experience, energy, passion and enthusiasm to<br />

our department in her new role. We will absolutely miss Sharon Farrah,<br />

who served CFISD extensively over her long career. However, we do look<br />

forward to working with Virginia in service of the 17,000 athletes and<br />

more than 600 coaches in CFISD.”<br />

Flores began her career in education in 1999 as an English teacher and<br />

basketball and track coach at Cy-Fair High School. After three years,<br />

Flores moved to Magnolia High School to serve as head girls’ basketball<br />

coach and assistant track coach.<br />

Flores earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Texas<br />

and Master of Educational Administration from Lamar University.<br />

“I am humbled and beyond thrilled to be in a position where I can serve<br />

and support the amazing teacher-coaches and student-athletes of<br />

CFISD,” Flores said. “Excellence in the sporting arena and in the classroom<br />

are the expectation and thus the norm for our highly competitive district.<br />

All of our coaches continually push and demand the very best and to be<br />

in a position to support them is a dream. While I will miss my 212 Wildcat<br />

family dearly, I am eager to begin working with our CFISD athletic staff<br />

to uphold the traditions and expectations of our district and to continue<br />

setting the bar for excellence.”<br />

June 16, <strong>2020</strong>—The Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Board of<br />

Trustees adopted the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 budget in the amount of<br />

$1,040,726,671 during its regularly scheduled meeting on<br />

June 16. The proposed budget was presented during the<br />

June 11 committee-of-the-whole meeting.<br />

The general fund budget includes local revenues of<br />

$543,309,479, state revenues of $436,378,083 and federal<br />

appointed to the U.S. Air Force<br />

Academy in Colorado Springs,<br />

Colo. “We are so proud of Jayden<br />

and can’t wait to see all that is in<br />

store for him,” said Becky Denton,<br />

Cypress Falls principal. “He is one<br />

special young man."<br />

is greater, in addition to the one-time payment from 2019-<br />

<strong>2020</strong> rolled in, for all other staff; and a new starting salary<br />
