We Welcome & Thank Partners

In C-FB ISD, we are fortunate to have large corporations, small businesses, civic groups, and the faith community working with our outstanding educational team.  Their efforts combined with the work of our Parent Teacher Associations and parent groups help us with our goal of "high achievement for all students."

Over the years, we have recognized the work of various partners at our School Board meetings to thank them for the impact that they have made in the lives of our students.  These organizations are a sampling of the incredible efforts of the volunteer work that regularly goes on at our campuses. 

We also have partnerships that help with district-wide projects such as Kacie's Run or our annual Special Olympics Track Field Meet.

Here are some illustrations of the work done for our students and schools by our partners:

MacArthur Baptist Church is recognized at


December 2011 School Board Meeting

• MacArthur Baptist Church has been partnering with Ranchview High School since 2006. Ranchview fine arts groups have used the building for performances and formal auditions. The school has also used the building for its annual PSAT workshop and senior class Baccalaureate service. Members have given teachers welcome back gifts and hosted an annual appreciation luncheon. More than 65 members adopted the varsity football team. They wore specially designed t-shirts sporting the numbers of their selected players. Church members cooked team meals, cheered wildly, celebrated after wins and encouraged after losses.  They filled the stands at both home and away football games.

• Area Walmarts have donated hundreds of items for district projects and campus projects through the years. They have helped out student councils, the PTA Clothes Closet, Post Proms, student clubs, career fairs, and more. They have donated needed school supplies and recognized teachers through the stores' Teacher of the Year program.

  SHW Group worked with METSA, our Math, Science and Engineering Academy at R. L. Turner High School. Engineers from the architectural firm gave insight on the project-based curriculum and participated in career days.  They have served as advisers when needed.  SHW team members have also served on the Board of Directors of the C-FB ISD Educational Foundation.

• Sony Electronics, Inc. has provided in-kind donations for various campuses to help special projects that focus on student achievement activities such as Math Night and Literacy Night.

•  Academy Sports and Outdoors has donated school uniforms to the district. We have distributed the uniforms through the C-FB ISD PTA Clothes Closet and Metrocrest Social Services.

 
• First Baptist Church Carrollton has been Central Elementary School's partner for several years. The members have provided such items as coats, gloves and hats. They even set up a day for health screenings along with fun activities such as bounce houses, games and other activities.

All of these partnerships are designed based on what the organization can do and what needs our campuses may have. We value the support given by every partner. Again, these are just a few of the partnerships that we have in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District.

Your partnership can provide volunteers, funding, equipment, materials, and/or assist with special needs. We work to match the school’s needs with the organization’s resources, but a few suggestions include:

• Classroom Volunteers
• Student Mentors
• Guest speakers
• Educational tours or field trips
• Incentive awards for student achievement
• Teacher discounts, rewards

If you wish to get started or find out how you can partner with C-FB ISD, please fill out the Partners In Education interest form. Once we have received the form and reviewed your information, a team member from the Strategic Communication Services Office will contact you regarding your partnership interest.

If you are a community member and would like to be a school volunteer, we welcome you as well. Visit our Volunteer page for more information on how you can become a volunteer at one of our schools.

We have a great public school system, but we can be even better when we have vested partners working with the educational team. Your time and expertise will help us with our four strategic objectives because they are interdependent.  However, your involvement will strengthen our stakeholder confidence as students, parents, and community leaders see your interest in the local schools.

C-FB ISD is in the top 9% in academic performance as measured by the Education Resource Group.  This is a perfect time for you to become involved in your local school district.

This is a school district where families feel connected.  Our 2011 parent survey told us that 90 percent of our parents were satisfied with their child's campus.   In a poll of registered voters, we learned that 70 percent believe that C-FB ISD is an excellent public school system. When looking at registered voters with children in the district, that number climbed to 90 percent.  And, you can join our parents and team in making a difference.

When educators and stakeholders work together, we make sure that our schools are places where students feel accepted and are challenged to learn.  And, when that happens, academic performance will be even higher.
