Aug 22 | Sleep in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Meta-Analysis of Subjective and Objective Studies

"The children with ADHD are significantly more impaired than the controls in most of the subjective and some of the objective sleep measures. These results lay the groundwork for future evidence-based guidelines on the management of sleep disturbances in children with ADHD."

Aug 20 | CFISD Information

Dear Key Communicator:

Since the H1N1 (Swine Flu) outbreak last spring, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) continues to describe this new strain of flu as a highly contagious pandemic flu. CDC along with Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (HCPHES) expect it to affect a broader spectrum of communities worldwide than traditional seasonal flu.

Since schools are places where thousands of children and adults interact on a daily basis, we will be following the guidelines for preparation, prevention and protection that HCPHES has recommended in order to minimize the spread of H1N1 in our community.

· Students and staff must stay home with H1N1-related symptoms that include a fever of 100 degrees or more.
· Students and staff may not return to school until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of a fever-reducing medication.
· Students' temperatures will be checked upon return to school.
For information about H1N1, please monitor the district website at www.cfisd.net and CFTV Ch. 16. It is important for everyone to practice healthy living and good hygiene by getting plenty of sleep, eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of fluids, washing/cleaning hands frequently and covering coughs.

It will take all of us working together to minimize the affect of H1N1 on the Cy-Fair community this year. I appreciate all of your efforts in keeping the community, especially our students, healthy.

Sincerely,

David Anthony, Ed.D.

Dr. David Anthony, superintendent
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD

Inspirational Video

I created this project for a class at TAMU. This project was inspired by my research on Mary McCloud Bethune. I am hopeful that it will inspire you as it has inspired me and my classmates. My classmates asked me to post it on YouTube so that they could share it with others. The video shows how her life was lived with purpose and that she left more than buildings and structures. I hope we will be encouraged to do the same.

Aug 10 | Awesome Job

Johnny,
Your tutoring services were invaluable for my daughter Kelly, as she prepared to enter her junior year of high school. Math is not her strong subject, so I embarked upon the tutoring to help prepare her for her college algebra class and her exit level math TAKS test. Thanks be to your tutoring service and God, Kelly passed all of her TAKS tests and her college algebra class. She said the tutoring she received was how she was able to be successful on the TAKS test. We are forever greatful and will recommend your services at every chance. Keep up the great work and may God continue to Bless you as you give back to the community.

Lisa
Pleased Parent
