Family Resources

Lost and Found will be cleaned out on April 15th. Anything labeled with students name will be returned to their teacher. Anything not labeled or claimed before April 15th will be donated.

Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) participating in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD schools make a significant contribution to the education of children. Each school year, thousands of volunteers donate hundreds of thousands of hours of service to the school district. Volunteers contribute in areas such as library aide, workroom help, campus events, fundraisers, staff appreciation luncheons, mentoring, public relations, tutoring and assisting in instructional areas.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer be sure to create a Volunteer Portal Account https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/MzYxOmVuLVVT

Once you have created an account let us know when you can help!
