π Cypress Mission Update: Weβre Off and Soaring!
Hello Cypress Cubs! πΎβ¨
Our Cubs are already working hard, building routines, and reaching for the stars! Here are this weekβs important mission updates:
π Attendance = Ready for Launch!
Being at school every day and on time directly supports student success and helps our Cubs feel prepared for what comes next. Every day countsβshow up and shine!
We have some fun attendance challenges underway! π
β 100% Class Attendance: Classes that achieve 100% attendance get to select a special class reward!
π 25-Day Challenge: Every 25 school days, students who meet the attendance goal earn extra recessβwith a treat!
Miss a day? Saturday School can help you stay on track and qualify for the celebration. If you miss more than one day and cannot attend Saturday School, don't worryβyou'll have another opportunity during the next 25-day round!
Remember: To qualify, students must have NO tardies and NO early check-outs. School-approved special events do not count against students.
Families of students with excessive absences will be contacted soon so we can work together to improve attendance and support student success.
π Vrrrrroooomm! SLOW DOWN π Parking Lot Mission: Safety First!
A BIG THANK YOU to our families for continuing to model safe habits in our parking lot!
Continue to:
Use the drop-off lane or park in a designated space and walk your student up.
NEVER stop in the middle lane to drop off or pick up a student. This is extremely unsafe.
Keep the middle lane OPEN so traffic can continue moving safely.
Display your CAR PLACARD during afternoon pick-up. Need another one? Stop by the office!
DO NOT PARK IN THE BUS ZONE near the marquee. This area must remain clear for our buses.
Use the CROSSWALK!
Thank you for helping keep all of our Cubs safe! β€οΈ
