The Grove Gazette

February 2023

CG Families,


We are cruising right along this spring semester. Students are engaged in learning and preparing their minds for the future. We have been able to spotlight smiles, helpfulness, and respectfulness across the campus on social media and look forward to many more acts of kindness around the building as well. Our goal is to help students learn something new everyday but also teach the students how to be well-rounded, respectful peers.


Thank you for your partnership in creating a wonderful environment at Cypress Grove. There is no place I'd rather be to form young minds and our future professionals.

.

Mrs. Cameron, Principal

Culture Fest Coming!

We are happy to announce that we will have our first annual Culture Fest on May 12 from 6-8 pm at Cypress Grove. We cannot put this fest on without the help of our families. We want to showcase all cultures that come together to create the amazing environment at CG. We would love to have every one of our cultures showcased at our festival. We encourage you to become a part of the festival in one way or another.


Please fill out this short form if your family would like to have a table to showcase items, food samples, or a cultural activity that others can participate in this night. We cannot do this without you, so reach out to llewis@csisd.org if you have questions and we can guide you in participating.

We are also looking for business participation. If you own a business, especially involving food, we encourage you to become a part of the festival in one way or another to showcase your business. We will advertise your business on our marquee as well as give you your own table to set up at the event. What a wonderful way for you to not only give back to the school community but also let everyone know who you are! Please fill out the short form below if you would like more information and to showcase yourself at our event.

From the Nurse

To: Parents/Guardians of students entering 7th grade

From: Kaleigh Mies, RN, Cypress Grove School Nurse

kmies@csisd.org

The States of Texas requires the following immunizations for all students entering 7th grade:

· One dose of Meningococcal vaccine

· One booster of the Tdap vaccine

All district middle schools must have proof of required 7th grade immunizations in order for students to pick up their schedules or begin school in August. You are receiving this letter now in order to provide you with ample time to have your child immunized and provide proof of immunizations to your child’s school nurse. If your child has already received these immunizations, please provide a copy of their shot record to the school nurse at their current school.

Message from PTO


Dear Cypress Grove Staff, Faculty and Parents,


I am writing to share that our Cypress Grove PTO has a new Facebook page and we invite you all to visit this page and like it for important information and updates about fundraisers and events happening at Cypress Grove.


You can find the page here: @CypressGroveIntermediatePTO.


We’ve had some challenges with the old page that made it difficult for us to continue using it long term. Please use this new page for all of your PTO informational needs.


As always, thank you for all that you do to support our students, faculty and school through the PTO. We appreciate it!
