2019-2020 School Supply Lists and Kits
There are three ways you can purchase next year's school supplies.
- Thanks to our fabulous PTO, supplies can be ordered online from schoolkidz at your convenience! The online prepackaged grade level supplies can be ordered until June 7, 2019.. If you purchase your student's school supplies online, the supplies will be delivered to the school before the first day of school. Grade appropriate kits are available now. Click here and use account #79519 to view the kits.
- LTLov provides a limited amount of free district-approved, prepackaged school supplies funded from charitable grants. If you would like to apply for a set of free, prepackaged supplies, fill out this form and forward it to LTLOV so that it is received by LTLOV by June 3.
- Below we have lists of the school supplies so that, if you prefer, you can purchase the supplies on your own from any source convenient to you. Feel free to drop off the school supplies that you've purchased at our Meet the Teacher event August 13.

The student planners can be ordered through May 24. Please use this form to order your planner(s.) Planners cost $6 each, payable in cash or check to WCHE. Planners ordered by May 24 will be delivered to students' classrooms at our Meet the Teacher Event August 13.

Mrs. Alice Johnson Named WCHE Teacher of the Year for 2018-19!
Mrs. Johnson earned a Bachelor's Degree at Texas A & M University and a Master's Degree from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are fortunate that she chose to be an educator and has been teaching thirteen years.
She serves as our Second Grade Teachers' Team Leader and lives right here in our neighborhood with her husband, three children, and their dog.
Congratulations, Mrs. Johnson, on receiving this well-deserved recognition as our Teacher of the Year.
Tiger Mathletes Advance to State Championship
Five of our Tiger Mathletes competed in the Math League's Central Texas District Championship that was held Saturday, March 30, at the Church of Christ in Hyde Park. Our Mathletes, also known under their team name, The Greater Numbers, took second place in the Overall Sweepstakes and took first place among Division 5 schools.
Team and individual results include:
- 1st Place, Division 5 School Team Round - Pedro Alvarez and Logan Gramling
- 3rd Place, Division 5 School Team Round - Sean Holstien, Praveen Lockuliyanage, and Daylen Regner
- 2nd Place, Overall Team Round - Pedro Alvarez and Logan Gramling
- 2nd Place, Fourth Grade Individual Results - Logan Gramling
- 2nd Place, Fifth Grade Individual Results - Pedro Alvarez
All five Tiger Mathletes' individual scores qualified them to advance to the Math League State Championship to be held at Fort Settlement Middle School in Sugar Land, Texas on Saturday, May 11.
This is the fourth consecutive year that West Cypress Hills Elementary School Tigers have qualified for the State Championship!
Kindergarten & 1st Grade Music Performances
Our Kindergarten students will be performing on Friday, April 26, at 1:30 pm, in the Tiger's Den.
To contact our Music Teacher, Mrs. Chelsea Hill, concerning the performances, click here.
We anticipate that we'll have large audiences at each performance, and visitors to our campus must obtain security badges before entering. Don't miss a moment of these precious performances waiting in long security check-in lines. RSVP well in advance of the performance and then enjoy the show.
The Wall of Fame for Shoe Tying for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Graders
Once notified of the student's successful shoe-tying accomplishment, we will provide your student with a paper shoe to color, take the student's photo, and then post the photo and customized paper shoe on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!
It's going to be really exciting to see our young Tigers on the WALL OF FAME!
Our clinic needs new or gently used leggings, shorts, and pants
Nurse Hensel, as the keeper of the wardrobe, has reported a need for small, medium and large girls' leggings. She also needs, for boys and/or girls, small, medium, and large athletic shorts and pants.
We would appreciate your keeping Nurse Hensel's needs in mind if you have gently used clothing that your children no longer need. Many thanks!
