Cara Stubbs will be joining our kinder team. She has taught kinder in AISD. She brings with her many experiences of using data to inform instruction and systems to ensure social emotional and academic growth of every child.
We hope to be interviewing for a .5 Library Assistant over the next several weeks as well.
Angela Beach has also joined our administrative team as our new Assistant Principal.
"Hello, all! My name is Angela Beach and I am beyond thrilled to be joining the Cypress Elementary family as the new Assistant Principal. I have spent the last five years as the AP at Giddens Elementary and previously taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades here in LISD. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my husband and our two young sons, as we play at the park, visit the library, and barbecue in the backyard. I very much look forward to getting to know each of you as we continue the greatness that is Cypress Elementary. Go Cheetahs!"
