MAY 2022 NEWSLETTER
Happy Last Month of School!
Little Cypress Elementary Families,
It’s here! It’s the last month of school! August and May are the busiest months of the school year, and the calendar is full of campus activities over the next four weeks.
Please stay connected to your student’s class notification system, Remind, Facebook, etc., to make sure you stay up-to-date on all the news.
We start the month with our Teacher Appreciation Week, first grade Cinco de Mayo program, STAAR parade, and School Lunch Hero Day. We move into the week of Reading and Math STAAR tests for our third graders, School Nurse Day, and the final celebration for our Accelerated Reading program. We will celebrate our retirees, Dee Dee Windham, Laura Silva, and Camille Franklin, and then have our PTO Adventure Dash fundraiser. The final week includes our Fry Words Celebration, third grade awards ceremony, Kindergarten graduation, and Last Day parties.
We soon will share some tips on how you can prevent the dreaded “summer slide,” making sure to reinforce key math and reading skills during the months of June and July. We encourage you to minimally read with your child every day. Reading at the lake, the beach, or after a front yard picnic is still building vocabulary and reading skills.
It has been an honor to serve as the Little Cypress Elementary principal this year. Thank you for making my first year so welcoming. I look forward to continue to work with you, our students, and our staff to put all the pieces together for years to come.
Happy Last Month of School!
Amber Hawk, Principal

3rd Grade STAAR Information
Third grade STAAR testing is here!
This year we have flexibility with the format, paper or online.
We also have some flexibility with the testing days.
Please communicate with your student’s teacher to verify when and how your student is taking their math and reading STAAR tests.
We ask that your student have an early bedtime the night before the test, a relaxing morning on test day, a full breakfast, and positive, encouraging words from you to do their best.
The majority of our tests will be taken Tuesday, May 10 and Wednesday, May 11. However, we will have students testing on the 12th and 13th.
Please know that the campus will be closed to visitors from May 10-13, 2022.
Thank you for your help in making this STAAR administration successful.
