Navigating Through an Exciting December Adventure!

Dear Cypress Families,

What a fantastic week we’ve had back from Thanksgiving Break! Our adventurers have hit the ground running, and the energy on campus is absolutely inspiring. It’s clear that our Cypress Cubs are ready to embrace the journey as we head toward winter break!

Parent Adventurers: Thank You!

A big thank you to the parents and guardians who joined us for our Social Emotional Workshop featuring the Yale RULER program. Together, we explored the Family Charter and discovered the Mood Meter—a valuable tool to help our Cubs navigate the emotional landscapes of their learning journey. Your participation makes such a difference as we chart a course for a strong and supportive Cypress community.

A Magical Holiday Reading Adventure!

This week, our campus transformed into a hub of holiday cheer as the Covina Parks & Rec truck rolled in for our Holiday Reading Night! Students and families enjoyed stories, treats, and a special raffle to keep the excitement alive. It was a night filled with wonder and connection. Thank you to everyone who joined this enchanting leg of our adventure!

Calling all book lovers! Our school library is now open after school for extra reading, research, and fun activities.

What’s Available?

📖 Explore new books and old favorites

💻 Use computers for taking AR quizzes

✏️ Get homework help or find a cozy spot to read

Whether you’re looking for a quiet space or some extra time to dive into your favorite stories, the library is the place to be!

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.

👟 Important Footwear Reminder! 👟

To keep everyone safe and comfortable at school, please remember that Crocs, sandals, and open-toed shoes are not allowed. We encourage all students to wear closed-toe shoes that are safe for playground fun, PE activities, and walking around school.

Why?

👣 Protect your toes from bumps and scrapes

🏃 Stay safe during active play

🚶 Be ready for all school activities

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and ready to learn! 😊

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 7:30 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.

We’re excited to invite you to our Community Café—a special gathering designed just for you!

Join us for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where we’ll share coffee, light refreshments, and great conversations. This is a wonderful opportunity to:

🤝 Connect with other parents

🏫 Chat informally with parents and staff

💡 Discuss ideas and learn more about school programs
