Keeping our Tigers Safe
The Lake Travis Independent School District and West Cypress Hills Elementary School officials encourage parents to remind their children to be aware of their surroundings, not to approach strangers, and to report any suspicious behavior and/or suspicious items to any school employee or local law enforcement immediately.
Tigers, if you see something, say something!
Recent communications were released from the LTISD concerning student safety. The Superintendent's message can be found here, and the messages from the Director of Communications can be found here and here.

A letter from our Kardivas....
Dear West Cypress Hills Student Body and Families,
On behalf of the 5th grade character club, Kardivas (“Kardia” meaning heart, Devoted, Inspired, Virtuous, Authentic, Sisterhood), we would like to extend our heartfelt “THANK YOU!” to the WCH family for helping us conduct a successful fundraiser to assist the Texas victims of the Fall 2017 Hurricane Harvey.
By collecting can openers through the “CAN you OPEN your heart?” drive, our club was able to donate EIGHTY-EIGHT brand new can openers to the Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN), who will now distribute them to the still thousands of families who are displaced from their homes due to extensive flooding. When a natural disaster occurs, it is common for hurting families to receive many cans of food donations, yet still lack common household utensils such as can openers to open them!
Our ADRN point of contact, Ms. Katherine Ellis, was thrilled to receive our school’s generous donation and wants to extend her “thanks,” too! She assures us that these can openers will be put to good use and very much appreciated by those in need. West Cypress Hills, you indeed showed us once again (and to no one’s surprise) that you definitely CAN OPEN your hearts through your generous donations, and - for that - we truly thank you!
Sincerely,
The 2017-2018 WCH 5th Grade Kardivas Club.
Volunteers Needed During Lunch Time
WCHE student lunches begin at 10:45 and end at 1:10. We'd love to have volunteers come in to assist students with opening their drinks, opening condiment packages, passing out plastic-ware and napkins, etc. If you're looking for something fun to do any time between 10:45 and 1:10, please sign up here. Thanks!

The Lost & Found is Overflowing!
Have you noticed that you have a lot more closet space than you used to have at your house? If so, maybe it's because we have all of your coats and sweaters and hoodies in our Lost & Found.

Please be sure to check our Lost & Found for your child(ren)'s belongings before April 20. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity if not claimed by April 20. Thanks!
