The Yeager Buzz
September 2023
Straight From The Hart
Dear Yellowjacket Families,
The first week of school has come and gone and both students and teachers have jumped right back into the swing of things! This year our school motto is Together We SWARM! It has been a great first week of learning new procedures and how to SWARM together in all that we do here at school. Our students and staff will thrive with our 5 Values of SWARM: S - Safe, W - Work Hard, A - Attitude, R - Respect, and M - Mindful. We will be hanging our new posters all over school in the coming week to help our students know how they can SWARM effectively throughout the building.
We hope to see all our families at our upcoming Curriculum Nights on September 18th and 19th. You will have the opportunity to meet the teachers on your child's grade level and learn about the different units and subjects your student will be learning about this year.
Be sure to check out all the Yeager Buzz below and don't miss a thing!

Student Check-out
Thank you for understanding and for your support, this helps our staff ensure that we are able to dismiss our students safely and efficiently every day.
Tardy- don't be late!
At 8:45am we begin our morning announcements and our staff members on car rider duty need to go inside to report to their first-period classes. After this time, the adult will need to park their car and come inside to sign in their child.
We will start recording tardies on Tuesday, September 5th.
Lunch Visitors
We do not have lunch visitors at the beginning of the year so that students can learn routines and procedures. We are not able to accept lunch drop-offs of fast food, etc. Parents may drop off forgotten lunch kits if necessary.
All students at Yeager are able to receive free breakfast and lunch.
Title I Parent Right to Know
Yeager VIPS
Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) are an essential part of the learning community. All parents, grandparents, and even members of the community are invited to volunteer their time and talent at Yeager Elementary.
There are many different opportunities throughout the year for volunteers to make an impact. If you would like more information on how you can be involved, please send us an email at yeagervips@gmail.com.
Also, please create a Volunteer Portal Account so ALL your volunteer hours can be recorded. We’d like to honor a Yeager VIPS each month and ensure all our VIPS are invited to the annual CFISD VIPS Appreciation Luncheon.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on campus!
