Dear Cypress Families,

Our young explorers have done it again! We are so proud of our Cubs for taking a bold stand during Red Ribbon Week and showing their commitment to staying safe and standing strong against drugs and bullying. The journey to a safe and healthy future starts with awareness, so please continue having conversations with your students about how they can keep themselves safe on their adventure through life!

Mark Your Calendars: Thursday, October 31st!

We have a double celebration on the horizon! On Thursday, October 31st, we’ll be hosting our October Character of the Month Assembly first at 8:30 AM, where we’ll recognize our students for their PRIDEful behavior. Immediately, following the assembly, we’ll jump into our Halloween Parade, where our Cubs can showcase their creativity and have a little festive fun. Remember, there’s still plenty of learning to do that day, so make sure your student stays in school for the rest of the adventure-filled day!

We invite all families to participate in this important mission! Together, we can ensure that our students are equipped with the best tools for their educational adventures.

Let’s continue to chart a bright future for Cypress and our students. Together, we are building a school full of PRIDE, exploration, and discovery!

Adventure awaits,

Kazuko Tuttle

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.

Please prioritize the safety of our school community by strictly adhering to the parking lot rules. Following traffic guidelines and reducing your speed is crucial for a secure and efficient drop-off and pick-up process. Your commitment to these rules ensures a safe environment for our students and their families and contributes to the overall well-being of our school community. Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a secure and orderly school environment.

At this time, the middle lane will remain closed, beginning at 8:00 AM. Please plan accordingly. Breakfast begins at 7:40 AM so you are more than welcomed to drop off earlier to beat the traffic. If you are parking, please be mindful when backing up and exiting the parking lot, in a safe manner.

Please follow traffic and parking laws and courteous practices for the safety of our students and for our neighbors.

Every minute counts at Cypress!

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