Dear Cypress Adventurers,

Celebration!

Thank you to all who were able to join us yesterday with our Trimester #1 AND Character of the Month for November Celebration! We came together as a community to honor the hard work and character our students who have excelled this term.

Movie Night Recap:

Thank you to all who joined in the fun with the PTA Movie Night! While enjoying Despicable Me 4, several enjoyed munching on pizza and hot dogs while wearing a glow-in-the-dark bracelet/necklace, and finishing it up with hot chocolate and a rice krispy treat for a dessert treat!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

RULER helps students and adults:

Recognize emotions

Understand their causes and consequences

Label emotions accurately

Express emotions appropriately

Regulate emotions effectively

During this session, you’ll learn how RULER supports your child’s learning and well-being and discover ways to apply these strategies at home.

Dear Families,

We understand the importance of staying connected for schoolwork and beyond. That’s why we’re excited to share information about programs offering free or low-cost internet services for qualifying families.

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
