Cub Communication 🐾

Dear Cypress Families,

What an adventure-filled week we’ve had! Our Annual FOAM Run today was a massive success, and I want to thank everyone who made it possible—especially our amazing PTA for organizing such a fun-filled event. It was truly heartwarming to see the campus come alive with the laughter of our Cypress Explorers and their families, all joining in the foamy goodness! Your participation and support are what make events like these so special, and the funds raised will directly benefit our students through classroom grants and field trips.

Honoring Our Extraordinary Explorers

Recently, we celebrated our Character of the Month recipients, recognizing those who showed exemplary attributes of Self-Control and Responsibility. These students are setting the bar high on their adventure toward personal growth!

A special shout-out also goes to our top Mathletes for September! These students worked diligently to complete the most iReady lessons. Their perseverance and dedication are truly commendable! The classrooms with the highest number of lessons completed were treated to a popsicle party—what a sweet reward for all that hard work!

Attendance: The Key to Every Great Adventure

Remember, adventurers, every day in school is a new opportunity to explore, grow, and learn. When you miss school, you miss out on the journey! We know life can be busy, but we encourage you to schedule doctor’s appointments at the beginning of the school day. Your presence every day ensures you don’t miss a single step of this amazing learning adventure.

Speaking of attendance, next week we will be kicking off our Fall Attendance Challenge! Get ready for some exciting announcements in next week’s Friday Flash, and let’s see which class will take home the prize for the best attendance.

Join the Adventure Crew: Support the PTA!

Behind every successful expedition is a dedicated crew, and we need YOU! By joining the PTA, you play a vital role in supporting the programs and activities that make our school such a wonderful place for our students. From classroom grants to field trips, your involvement makes a huge impact on our explorers' learning adventures. Let’s continue to work together to guide our students toward an incredible future!

The Cypress ES Library is a warm and welcoming place for students, teachers, and parents. It is the goal of the library program to develop and encourage a love of reading for all students and assist them in becoming critical thinkers who are effective and responsible users of information.

Please mark your calendar to remember that all Tuesdays are early dismissals at 12:10 p.m.

District K-5 schools have a mandatory uniform/standardized dress policy adopted by the Board of Education. This policy provides an opportunity for students to dress neatly for school, and it helps students to look at others’ character instead of their attire.

Due to slipping and tripping issues, crocs and sandals are NOT ALLOWED as they are a safety hazard.

Every minute counts at Cypress!

Please take a look at how “a few minutes" impacts a child’s education.

You are invited to the Youth Night at the Varsity Football game on Thursday, October 24. All children in Grades 8 or below will be admitted into the game for free when they are wearing their school's shirt.
