Tiger Talk - Special Edition
04/19/23
Please complete our Parent Input Form for 2023-2024 Tigers' Class Placements
In making class assignments, our goal is to place each child in a class where he or she can be most successful. A secondary goal is to also maintain a balance among classes in terms of gender, academic ability, disciplinary and social needs, learning styles, and individual needs of all of the students. All information shared on our input form is confidential and submitted electronically to West Cypress Hills Elementary administration.
We hope to make classroom assignments that will maximize the opportunity for your child’s success. If you have information you would like to have considered in your child’s placement, please complete and submit this form no later than May 5, 2023. Please limit your input to the way your child learns and to information about any special needs that we should consider.
Staffing and staff assignments for next year have not been finalized; thus, we will not be able to honor requests for a specific teacher. We will do our best to honor your feedback.
Seeking Speakers for our Tiger Career Day!
We are looking for parents or community members who would be willing to speak to classes of students about their jobs or submit a pre-recorded video telling us what they do, when they first knew that they wanted to pursue this career, what was required to get them in that position (education,) how their job relates to their interests now, the most rewarding part of their job, and the most difficult part of their job. They will also have an opportunity to "show and tell" with props, photos, video clips, or demonstrations. Finally, they will be able to answer student questions.
In-person speakers will present to a particular grade level (specify below) on Tuesday, May 23, and they will present 4-5 sessions across a period of 1-2 hours. Speakers will be selected by our Social Emotional Learning Team with the goal of representing a variety of career fields. If we have multiple volunteer speakers from similar career fields, speakers will be selected randomly. Virtual speakers will submit a pre-recorded video (5 minutes in length is perfect) that all of our Tigers will be able to access.
If you would like to sign up to help make our 2023 Career Day a HUGE success, click here. Thanks!
