Tiger Talk

Tigers demonstrating PAWSitive behavior are nominated to have their names added to our WOW Board. WOW Board members are then eligible to win a fun brag tag and Buddy Pass. The Buddy Pass entitles each WOW Board member to enjoy lunch on the stage with a buddy of his/her choice.

This photo is of our WOW Board #4 Members. Congratulations, Tigers!

....we'd like to ask our Tiger families for your assistance with something. We've noticed lately that some of our classrooms have experienced interruptions in their day of learning because of unexpected visits from student family members.

When you obtain your security badge to visit our campus, please do not use that privilege to visit our classrooms without having first made an appointment to do so with the classroom teacher. It might seem like a great idea to pop in for a quick "hello," but it takes away from time set aside for learning. A brief interruption to say "hello" or to peek in the door might be fun; however, it also disturbs the lessons planned by the teachers, and it may take them a while to get all of the students back on track.

We appreciate and welcome your visits. Please just make an appointment with the teacher first and refrain from strolling to or through the classroom areas without having first made the appointment to do so.

Thanks for being PAWSitive!

Ms. Amy Russ

The WCHE Tigers cordially invite our veterans and servicepersons to join us at our Veteran's Day Assembly in our school gym at 7:40 am on Monday, November 11. We also invite all Tigers and Tiger families to provide us with family "bricks" so that we can build our Veteran's Day Wall of Honor. Our Veteran's Day Wall of Honor will be on display in our main hallway and will be a perfect backdrop for family photos.

The staff and students of West Cypress Hills Elementary wish to thank our veterans and servicepersons for their service to us and to our country. We are free because of the brave.

If you plan to attend our Veteran's Day Assembly, please RSVP here to avoid long security check-in lines.

Tigers had their individual fall pictures made in the WCHE Library during the school day on Thursday, October 3. Those photo day packages can be ordered on line at mylifetouch.com using our picture day ID: EVTR43SZ3.
