Tiger Talk
11/04/25
Good evening, Tiger Families,
Sometimes you win the pie… and sometimes the pie wins you!
Even when we don’t come out on top, our pride, resilience, and heart always shine through — and that’s what truly makes West Cypress Hills great. Every challenge, every laugh, and every “almost” moment moves us one step closer from growth to greatness.

Attendance Challenge Update
Well… it’s official — I’ll be getting the pie in the face! We were so close, but our friends at Serene Hills Elementary edged us out in October’s Attendance Challenge:
SHE = 96.42%
WCHE = 95.77%
Even though we came up just short, I’m so proud of the effort and energy our students, staff, and families showed all month long! Our campus goal for the year is 96%, and we’ll have another fun challenge coming soon.
Please keep encouraging your Tiger to be at school every day they’re healthy and able — every minute truly matters for their learning and growth.

Thank You for the Heartfelt Shout-Outs!
I want to share my deepest gratitude for the incredible messages of appreciation you’ve sent through our Teacher & Staff Shout-Out Form!
This week, I published your heartfelt notes in our Teacher Talk newsletter — and let me tell you, your kind words absolutely made our teachers’ week! Seeing how much you notice, appreciate, and celebrate their hard work means the world to our team.
The Shout-Out Form will remain open through the month of November, so there’s still time to recognize a WCHE staff member who’s made a difference for your child or family.

Veterans Day Rally
Our Veterans Day Rally is coming up next Tuesday, and it’s one of the most meaningful traditions at WCHE. We hope you’ll join us as we honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
If you haven’t already, please be sure to:
-
RSVP to attend the rally
-
Submit your Veteran Honor Bricks by the deadline so we can include your loved ones in our celebration
We can’t wait to come together as a community to show our gratitude and Tiger Pride! 🇺🇸

This week’s newsletter is packed with new information, so be sure to read all the way through for important updates and upcoming events.
Thank you for your continued partnership, enthusiasm, and support. Our WCHE community truly makes this school a place where pride fuels achievement, resilience grows through connection, and every child is seen, valued, and empowered to lead with heart.
With Tiger Pride,
Amy Russ
