Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are over halfway through the 2024-2025 school year! Time is moving quickly, but our commitment to your children is unchanged. We remain focused on continuous improvement at Yeager. We are consistently analyzing our student data and making adjustments to our instructional practices so that we can ensure academic and social success for every Yellowjacket. These pictures showcase some of the wonderful, hard-working students and staff who’s efforts we commend and celebrate!

We try to provide positive interventions and supports for each of our students. We are always looking for input on ways we can recognize and celebrate our students' efforts. We currently utilize classroom rewards, school store, Buzz Bucks, the book vending machine, the BIG Event, and Goldjacket distinction. What suggestions do you have for additional incentives or ways that we can recognize our students? Click here to complete a short survey.

• 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.
