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

Just a reminder that Yeager and all CFISD schools will be closed from November 25-29, 2024, for the Thanksgiving Break. Enjoy a safe and restful break! We will see you back on Monday, December 2nd!

Congratulations to this month's GoldJackets!!

Join us in our December festive activities!

Yeager has typically experienced many early student pickups the day before our winter holiday. For the safety of our students and for the convenience of our families, we will be offering a Car Rider Express Pass. If you choose to pick up your child early on Friday, December 20th, we ask that you pick up at 10:15 a.m. through our car rider express line. We will run a car rider line for pre-registered students. You will not need to come in to sign out your child. To register, we must receive the information below no later than December 17th.

Look for a paper copy to go home with your child the week we return from Thanksgiving break. You may download a PDF copy below to send it back to school or via email at yeager@cfisd.net. Please send a picture of your ID with your email.

The Spirit Cart will be open during lunches on Friday, December 13th this upcoming 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.

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

Our student Council is excited to announce our next event. On December 18th we will host a Parent's Night Out. This will be a movie night from 5:30-7 pm for current Yeager students. There will be treats, games, and we will be watching The Grinch. We will selling only a limited number of tickets. So, drop off your student and go do some last-minute Christmas shopping! Look for an email with more information when we return from Thanksgiving break!

We're asking all 5th grade parents to contribute $30 dollars to their child to help us with all the costs involved to celebrate their 5th grader at the end of the school year. This contribution will pay for the student's 5th grade shirt, lunch, snacks and activities being planned for that day. The contribution needs to be done through School Cash.

Yeager families, if you would like to help sponsor a 5th grade student, you may find a sponsor item under your child's school cash account. Contributions will need to be made through School Cash Online. 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.

Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st Grade Parents:

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.
