Parents

Once your student is registered, they will receive an ID number. Please save this ID number and help your child memorize it. Student ID numbers are used in the the library, the lunch line and more. 

Visit enrollcfb.com for more information on PreK, transfer, school locator, immunization information, and other registration requirements.

This is the parent information system that interfaces with our student information system. The information from Parent Self Serve will dictate what information you will have in ParentSquare.

District employees – do not register for PSS. Contact your child’s campus to have the PSS flag set to activate your account. To access PSS – select Existing Users. Sign in with your TEAMS userID and password.

Your child's classroom teachers, campus staff and school will send regular communication through ParentSquare. District departments may also share information about events, resources and opportunities for families.

After each school board meeting, a Communications Update will be shared to provide a summary of the information presented and names of award recipients.

For more information about ParentSquare, please visit the district's ParentSquare page.

The $40 fee, or $25 for students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, helps purchase new devices when older models no longer support updates or applications, and protects families from the cost of unexpected repairs–which could amount to $400 or more. Families can set up a payment plan through RevTrak to pay in installments. 

Students who have not paid the fee by Monday, Nov. 30, will have their device switched to restricted mode. They will continue to have access to essential learning applications and required assessment tools, while access to other applications and services will be temporarily limited until the fee is paid.

For more information on the Technology Device Fee, visit the District Technology Device Fee website or email us at devices@cfbisd.edu.
