Tiger Talk
02/24/26
Good evening, Tiger Families,
There is so much happening at West Cypress Hills, and our students continue to grow, lead, and shine in incredible ways. We are truly grateful for the strong partnership we share with each of you.
This week’s newsletter is packed with important updates, upcoming events, and key reminders. Please take a few moments to read it thoroughly so you don’t miss any important information.
I am especially looking forward to seeing many of our 1st grade families this Friday for the First Grade Plays! Our students have been working so hard and are excited to perform. Please be sure to RSVP in advance so your name tag is ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
I also want to share an important community safety reminder. Liberty Civil Construction, the contractor overseeing the Reimers-Peacock Road Development Project that will provide access to Highland Lakes High School, has reported that teenagers have recently been riding dirt bikes within the active construction zone. Although the area is clearly marked with “No Trespassing” signage, individuals have entered the site despite these restrictions.
Active construction zones present serious safety hazards, including heavy equipment, large vehicles, uneven terrain, and ongoing roadway work. Entering the site for any reason creates a significant risk of injury. We ask that families please speak with their children about the importance of staying out of the construction area. For everyone’s safety, riding or entering the site is strictly prohibited.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our students and community safe.
Lastly, for those of you that have completed our parent survey (32 completions), thank you. I would love it if we could get to 75% completed by our parents. Please take the time to take our survey below you will find the link. Again this helps us to know what we are doing well and where we need to improve here at WCHE!
With appreciation,
Amy 💜🧡
Hello WCHE Families! Here are some updates from our counseling program!
Classroom Counseling Lessons
This month in our classroom counseling lessons, Tigers have been talking about kindness and empathy. I have been blown away by our students' knowledge about what those 2 words mean, and even more blown away by how our students show kindness and empathy at school every day. WCHE is such a special place because of our awesome Tigers!!
5th Grade Transition to Middle School
From March 2 through March 6, families will be able to view their student’s middle school course selections in Skyward. During this time, you will be asked to complete a verification form confirming that your student’s course selections are accurate.
If you and your student would like to request any changes, a Course Change Request Google Form will be available starting March 2.
Please note that both Skyward access and the Change Request Form will close at 4:00 PM on March 6. We encourage you to review your student’s courses early to ensure everything is exactly how you all would like it.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about this: lohrbergb@ltisdschools.org. Thank you all! Go Tigers!
Attention LTISD Parents and Guardians,
