A message from Mrs. Jistel
Hi Parents,
As we begin to prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, we would like to elicit parent input regarding the learning characteristics and needs of our students. Should you like to provide input, we kindly ask that you complete a Parent Input Form for each child you have currently (Kinder-4th grade) attending Cypress Elementary. This form is not meant to serve as an avenue to make specific teacher requests. We will use the information provided, along with other data points, to help build balanced classes for the 2020-2021 school year. Please complete the form by Friday, April 14th.
Destination Imagination
Our Destination Imagination Team proudly represented LISD at the State Tournament this past weekend. Way to go Team Imagineers on all your hard work this season!
PreK & Kinder Registration
Our Kindergarten Vision is that each kindergarten graduate is prepared with a foundation of social, emotional, physical, and academic skills to become a productive learner, an effective communicator, and a responsible student.
Registration will open April 1st! At that time, please follow the link below to begin the registration process online! Cypress will host in-person registrering for PreK and Kinder on April 3, however, the online pieces STILL need to be completed online. Registration is online-only at Leanderisd.org. If you'd like to turn in your documents in-person, Cypress will have a dedicated day for registrering PreK and Kinder on Wednesday, April 5th between 7:30am - 6:30pm. For any questions, please call the Cypress Front Office at 512-570-5400.
