Learn about the F.B.I!

The F.B.I. or Farrell Bureau of Instruction was our theme for the 2005-06 school year. The theme originated at the Summer Retreat attended by all teachers and staff.

The theme has been carried out school wide into T-shirts, pep-rallies, banners and most recently into our school-wide TAKS incentive plan. Every student at Farrell Elementary will work to master TAKS objectives in order to receive FBI badges. Once the student masters an objective, their FBI badge is displayed with honor, and they get to move on to the next objective. Every day, a Jr. Special Agent's name is announced on the intercom if they have mastered a TAKS objective.  That Jr. Special Agent then receives a Falcon Dollar.  The purpose of our TAKS incentive plan is not only for students to master their objectives but also for the younger grades to have an important role in the TAKS process and a familiarity with the test.
