Orange you glad it’s almost Unity Day? Unity Day is our chance to stand together as a district and spread kindness!

Here’s how WCHE Tigers can show their spirit on Wednesday, October 21:

• WEAR ORANGE: Rock your brightest orange outfit to school to show we stand for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion!

• SPREAD THE WORD: Talk with your friends, family, and classmates about what unity means to you.

• SIGN THE POSTER: Stop by the Unity poster during lunch to add your name and take the pledge!

Let’s turn WCHE into a sea of orange and show everyone what Tiger kindness is all about!

WHAT TO WEAR

• Comfortable, older clothes that can get colorful! Anything worn should be Color Run friendly—please leave new or special items at home.

• We’ll provide Tiger Trot shirts to put on over students’ clothes, so an older, lightweight shirt underneath is a great choice.

• We’ll also provide Color Run sunglasses for students to wear!

• Students may wear a hat during the race.

• Closed-toe shoes are required. Older sneakers are perfect!

*Siblings will not be able to leave their class to attend their sibling's color run. They get to enjoy their own!*

A FEW REMINDERS

Students are welcome to bring a towel for personal use. Families coming to cheer should stay in the designated parent viewing area; only assigned volunteers will be allowed on the field. Volunteers will need to check in at the front office with valid ID and then report to the Volunteer Staging Area.

We can’t wait to celebrate our Tigers and all we’ve accomplished together!

Each month our Tigers have an opportunity to be awarded a certificate for demonstrating good citizenship and an admirable character trait. Certificates are awarded at our Tiger assembly. October's Character Awards are Courage Awards. The recipients for each grade level, along with their teachers, are shown below.

Congratulations to all of our Tiger recipients. Thanks for being Courageous, Tigers!

While our original picture day photos are being processed, new photo package orders cannot be placed for the original picture day's photos. However, orders for those photos can be placed once you receive your Portrait ID and Access Code from Lifetouch. The ID and Code are usually available within 2 weeks of picture day. Photos can be ordered online for the rest of the school year.

For any questions or concerns, please phone Lifetouch at 1-800-736-4753 or reach out online at lifetouch.com/support-us.

WCHE Tiger Kindergarten has been taking advantage of this lovely weather by spending time in Tulley's Garden.

Mrs. Wade's class went on a fun garden scavenger hunt. They practiced identifying the beginning sounds of words and counting the number of things that they found on their hunt.

Mrs. Eilers' class used their five senses to explore the garden, and they practiced making tally marks for each thing seen, smelled, heard, touched, and tasted.

What great days of learning!

Dear West Cypress Hills Elementary School Parents and Guardians,

A critical component of school safety is the classroom response to an incident on campus. The Standard Response Protocol, or SRP, is a proven method of creating shared language and actions among students, staff, and first responders during a school emergency. Since its adoption in August 2019, students across our district have received an introduction and overview of the SRP including classroom practices and drills.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and support during this time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Mark your calendars! Rough Hollow Elementary, West Cypress Elementary, Serene Hills and Lake Travis Middle School are coming together to host a vibrant celebration of our unique backgrounds, traditions, and heritages.

Come hungry, bring your family, and travel the world right in our community!

Date: Saturday, December 5, 2026 Time: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Lake Travis Middle School (4932 Bee Creek Rd, Spicewood, TX 78669)
Admission: Free and open to the community!
