#YeagerBuzz

The #YeagerBuzz is sent as a monthly newsletter.

You will continue to receive weekly Friday Flyers as well as updates from your child's teacher.

It was so good to see so many of you at our two Back to School Curriculum Nights! We genuinely thank you for taking the time to visit your child's classroom(s) and supporting your teacher(s). We appreciate you and all that you are doing to partner with us on your child's educational journey!

September was a time of solidifying school-wide procedures and the knowledge of previously taught content. As we move into October, our school will concentrate on increasing student engagement and building on foundational skills to deepen concept understanding. Your children will work in rotations in their classrooms so that they are able to receive more direct instruction as well as experience time to practice their newly acquired skills. I can assure you that we will ALL do our best at Yeager to ensure academic and social growth for every student!

As I've said before; I am SO lucky to spend my days with this talented Yeager staff and your amazing children! We truly are the BEST campus in all of CFISD!

Here are just a few examples of the wonderful things happening at Yeager:

• Transportation changes must be made in writing by sending in a signed note with your child. You may also send a scanned note via email or an email with a copy of your ID to yeager@cfisd.net.
• For your child's safety, we cannot make transportation changes over the phone.
• Transportation changes must be received no later than 3:15 p.m.
• The latest time to pick up students from the front office, with a note, is 3:45pm.

The Spirit Cart will be open during lunches one Friday each month. Students will have the opportunity to purchase items from the Spirit Cart during their lunch time. Items include water bottles, fidget toys, stickers, pencils, jump ropes, and much more. Items will range from $1 to $7.

Cart Cash must be purchased online via School Cash by 12:00pm the day before each Spirit Cart Friday; any Cart Cash purchased after that time/date will be eligible for use the next month.

Students cannot bring money to school to be used at the Spirit Cart. Only Cart Cash will be accepted.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help staff the Spirit Cart. Please consider signing up .

Future Spirit Cart dates are scheduled for: October 25th, December 13th, January 31st, February 28th, March 28th, April 25th, and May 23rd.

The Campus Performance Objectives Council (CPOC) is made up of teacher representatives from each grade level, campus administration, district administration, parents, and community members. Our job is to create and monitor a Campus Improvement Plan (CIP). The CPOC met this past week to disaggregate STAAR data and set objectives for the 2024-2025 school year.

Yeager families, if you would like to help sponsor a 5th grade student, you may find a sponsor item under your chid's school cash account. Contributions will need to be made through School Cash Online also. We appreciate any and all financial help to make this an awesome day for our graduating 5th Graders!

We can announce your child's birthday on our electronic marquee at Yeager Elementary!

The birthday sign will be posted for 3 days (the day before the birthday, the birthday and the day after) for $15!

Birthday signs with your child's FIRST name will be posted UPON PAYMENT and there will be NO REFUNDS. Summer birthdays will still be posted in the summer.

Purchases must be done via SchoolCash.

Progress Reports, Report Cards, attendance information, and other important information regarding your student are available in the Home Access Center. If you don't know how to log in to HAC, please search your email for "HAC". If you are still having difficulty, you may call our HELP Desk at 281-897-4357. Access to the HAC will be important throughout your child's enrollment in CFISD.

• We are looking for volunteers to assist with vision and hearing screenings next week, (Wednesday 10/2 and Thursday 10/3). Volunteers will be assisting in lining up students and transitioning them to and from the screenings. They may also assist with some aspects of the screenings if certified. Please review this sign up for available slots to sign up. Thank you!
• Please consider keeping an extra set of clothes in your child's backpack. Accidents can happen - Students may need a change of clothes during the day.

• We encourage all students to bring a water bottle ( with closing top) to school daily.

We want to thank our MAGNIFICENT VIPS committee for organizing a delicious Teacher Appreciation Breakfast!

My Ride K-12 is the mobile application that will allow guardians to find information for their specific Cypress-Fairbanks ISD student including their bus stop along with the ability to track their specific bus and view when their student scans on and off the bus. Visit the website and get instructions on how to download the app.

Parents of students who walk to or from school: please make a note of rainy day dismissal routines.

Our walking pathway holds a lot of water and gets very muddy. Your child will get wet and muddy if dismissed as a walker.

• If it has been raining and you prefer that your child not walk home, you should submit a change of transportation BEFORE 3:15 pm. This can be a signed note or, if the day has already begun and you cannot get a signed note to us; you can attach your ID to an email to yeager@cfisd.net. Please note that the message must be received no later than 3:15pm of the same day that you are making the change of transportation for your child to be a car rider.

• If it is actively raining, we will make a decision at 3:15 pm to cancel walkers and automatically change all our walkers to car riders. Once we make the decision at 3:15 pm, we will not be able to change it back, even if it stops raining. In the event that walkers are canceled, a School Messenger notification will be sent so you will be aware of the change.

We appreciate your cooperation on this matter.
