Remind 101 to Parent Square
The district has launched a new platform named Parent Square to facilitate communication between parents and teachers. This platform will replace Remind 101, it launched August 7th. In January 2027, Parent Square will replace School Messenger. It is important that you sign up for Parent Square now so that the transition is seamless.
Character Day Parade was a big success as our staff and students got into the event and took it to the top. This is a 12 year tradition at Woodard and our kids look forward to sharing their love of reading through their participation.
It is hard to beleive we are already in the month of Novermber. As we prepare for the upcoming Thanksgiving Break, let's all pause and look at the many things we have to be thankful for this year. Our students are amazing, our staff is amazing, our parents are amazing, and we are all blessed to serve in this community. Teamwork and collaboration have led us to the "A" rating with all distinction designations that we have achieved. Students, staff and parents had to be ALL IN and work together to achieve this. I am so thankful we get to work at Woodard. We should all truly blessed and thankful.
I get to work with the HR Department at many of the teacher career fairs. This year is no exception as I get to bring back the best of the best teachers to Woodard each year. It is such a valuable experience for me and an opportunity to continue bringing staff on board to continue our culture of excellence.
Our goal everday is to make sure every Woodard Wolf has an amazing academic year filled with learning, growth, fun, and unforgettable experiences!
Let’s keep working together and make this the BEST academic school year EVER!

Changes in Parent Contact Information
In Texas, parents/guardians are required to provide in writing their address, phone number, and email address upon enrollment of a student and within the first two weeks of each school year. If the parent’s contact information changes during the school year, the parent must update their contact information within two weeks of the change (Tex. Educ. Code § 26.0125).
If your contact information has changed recently, please contact our registrar, Mrs. Esther Rodriguez, to update your records. You can reach her at 281-213-8235 or by email esther.rodriguez@cfisd.net
Thank you for helping us stay connected and keeping your child’s information current.

Dress Code
A student’s dress code must be in compliance with the Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D. Parents are expected to be knowledgeable and supportive of the dress and grooming guidelines. Please review the Student Handbook to ensure a safe and orderly learning environment for all students that is free of distractions. Students in violation of the dress code will need to have a phone call to the parent for a change of clothes. If the parent/guardian is unavailable, the student may be given a change of clothes from the nurse’s office.
Personal Communication Devices
A new Texas law (House Bill 1481) requires school districts to prohibit student use of all personal communication devices during the school day. Therefore, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is updating its personal communication device policy.
The use of all personal communication devices is prohibited during the school day. Devices must be turned off and stored in the student’s personal bag or backpack at all times.
Please review the law and FAQ below with your student(s) prior to the start of the school year.
Code of Conduct
Parents,
As we continue building a safe, respectful, and positive school culture, we ask that you provide daily reminders and conversations at home about the following expectations:
- Follow all school and classroom expectations.
- Show respect to themselves, their peers, teachers, staff, and school property.
- Make responsible choices that contribute to a positive school culture.
- Recognize unsafe or concerning behaviors and know how to report them to a trusted adult.
- Follow all expectations while riding the CFISD school bus, including demonstrating safe, respectful, and responsible behavior.
Our students have reviewed these expectations with their teachers and campus staff, and we are now focusing on putting these expectations into practice every day.
Your partnership makes a difference! Please take a few minutes each day to talk with your student about making safe, respectful, and responsible choices at school and on the bus. Together, we can help our Woodard Wolves make choices that promote a safe, positive, and successful learning environment for everyone!
