Hello Cypress Cubs!

As the year comes to a close, we have many exciting activities and field trips on the horizon. Please remind your Cub of appropriate, expected behavior at Cypress.

We would like to thank you for your marvelous generosity donations during Teacher Appreciation Week. A special thank you to our PTA and parent volunteers who helped decorate our Lounge for all to enjoy in the festivities.

Thank you to our Cypress community for helping us "Fill the Fridge" as teachers and staff members enjoyed filling their bellies!

Cypress had our first Career Day this past Friday and it was a huge SUCCESS and such BLAST for students! Students were excited to learn about the variety of careers out there. Thank you to our community members and parent volunteers who took the time out of their busy day to share with our Cubs!

As the school year comes to a close, more events and activities will be coming up! Soon, we are going to need parent volunteers to help make this end of the year special for ALL our Cubs! Check out all the things we've got going on below.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to visit or call the front office at
