ZippSlip registration for bus transportation closed on June 17, 2016.  If you are a CFA student and need bus transportation for the 2016-2017 school year, you must now fill out a paper form.  A link to the form is below and also under the “Forms” tab above.   Return the form as soon as possible to the CFA Office and we will forward it to the transportation office.  However, because the deadline has passed, bus service may not be in place on the first day of school.  Bus schedules will be available September 1.

THIS IS A CHANGE.  There will be only one day for payment of fees for the 2016-2017 school year.  The date is Tuesday, August 30, 2016 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  In addition to paying fees, students will be able to pick up their laptop.   Fees may also be paid online.

NOTE:  CFA students pay a $20 specialty center fee (students taking more than more CFA class pay the fee for each area.)   Students taking the CFA online health class also pay a $100 fee for that course.  Fees for other courses, class dues, yearbook, etc.  will be tallied for you on fee night.  

Take a look at what our fabulous CFA faculty are doing this summer:
