Dear Yeager Families,

It amazes me that we’ve come to the end of the fall semester! Our Yellowjackets have learned and accomplished so much! We all have so much to grateful for!

Our amazing VIPS and GLCs have made such a significant impact on ALL our staff and students through their selfless gifts of time, energy, creativity, and support! I’d like to give special recognition to Boe Bowen for generously donating Otter Pops for every student to enjoy at both Field Day AND the Big Event! Many thanks also go to Zach Herbst for his creation and donation of the Yeager Tube Man! We also want to acknowledge Mr. and Mrs. Andrew P. Johnson for their significant role in assisting us to organize the 4th and 5th grade field trips to the Pearl Fincher Museum this week. Finally, we wish to show our sincere appreciation to Beverly Gibson, Kelly Adams, and the Champions Garden Club for their sizeable donation towards securing a fun and rewarding Skating Unit for our PE students this coming February!

As you can see, Yeager truly is a community school and we are immensely blessed by the support and guidance that we receive from ALL of you!

With sincere thanks,

Kerri Dale

Just a reminder that Yeager and all CFISD schools will be closed for the Holidays from December 23rd-27th, December 30th-January 3rd and on Monday, January 6th, 2025! Enjoy a safe and restful break! We will see you back on Tuesday, January 7th!

We're excited to introduce this year's main fundraiser, the Yeager Yellowjacket Fun Run. Our goal is to raise $15,000 for field trips, new iPads, student rewards to benefit ALL students at Yeager Elementary.

We’re excited for this fundraising experience because it offers 3 important things to our school community:

1️⃣ User-friendly fundraising platform

2️⃣ Character enrichment program

3️⃣ Fitness-focused event that includes ALL of our students

As a family, you will work together asking friends and family to donate on your student’s donation page at MyBooster.com. The best part is, you can still support our school just by SHARING about the fundraiser!

Students will also experience an amazing character enrichment program called “Castle Quest”, teaching students about how to be brave and live with character.

Key Dates to Remember:

Students may come inside the building beginning at 8:20AM from the car rider line. We recommend students be dropped off no later than 8:40am so they have time to make it to class before the tardy bell at 8:45am.

At 8:45am we begin our morning announcements and our staff members on car rider duty need to go inside to report to their first-period classes. After this time, the adult will need to park their car and come inside to sign in their child.

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.
