As we move through the second quarter, progress reports will be available on Friday, November 20. These reports provide a valuable snapshot of your student's current academic progress and an opportunity to celebrate successes while identifying areas for growth.

No matter what the grades show, remember to hug your kids and remind them that you love them. A progress report is not the finish line, it's simply a checkpoint. If your student is excelling, celebrate their hard work. If there are areas that need improvement, use this opportunity to sit down together, talk through the challenges, and create a plan for success. Small adjustments made now can have a big impact by the end of the quarter.

At Cypress Creek High School, we believe that when families and schools work together, students thrive. Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our Coyotes! 💚💛🐾

Ho, Ho, Ho! It's that time of year again! Toys for Tots is looking for new, unwrapped toy donations for local children in need.

Our donation bin can be found in the front office through the month of November. We encourage students, staff, and families to join us in supporting this important cause and demonstrating the generosity that makes Cypress Creek High School such a special community.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Saly. Thank you for helping us spread holiday cheer! 🎁🎄🐾
