A Quick Note From Mrs. Dale
October was a wonderful month for the Yeager Yellowjackets! We enjoyed Fall Picture Day, College Week, and Red Ribbon Week! We hosted a Book Fair and the Planetarium. A Singing Zoologist merged academics and FUN in an amazing performance! Families were able to join us for the Club Rewind Talent Show and for a STEAM Night/ Fall Festival. Our Art teacher, Mrs. Rucker, was chosen to display one of her own beautiful works of art at the Cy-Fair Visual and Performing Arts Center Art Teacher Exhibit! There were also entertaining and informative visits for our primary students from Jill Metcalfe, author of the Sandy the Bee Series, and from the fire department!
Even with all this extra excitement, I'm thrilled to report that our first round of collected academic performance data shows steady growth!
I am so proud of the collected efforts of our staff, students, and community! Yeager Yellowjackets are proving that #TogetherWeSwarm!
Reminder: No classes will be held Monday- Tuesday, November 4th-5th.

Walkers
Parents of students who walk to or from school: please make a note of rainy day dismissal routines.
Our walking pathway holds a lot of water and gets very muddy. Your child will get wet and muddy if dismissed as a walker.
If it has been raining and you prefer that your child not walk home, you should submit a change of transportation BEFORE 3:15 pm. This can be a signed note or, if the day has already begun and you cannot get a signed note to us; you can attach your ID to an email to yeager@cfisd.net. Please note that the message must be received no later than 3:15pm of the same day that you are making the change of transportation for your child to be a car rider.
If it is actively raining, we will make a decision at 3:15 pm to cancel walkers and automatically change all our walkers to car riders. Once we make the decision at 3:15 pm, we will not be able to change it back, even if it stops raining. In the event that walkers are canceled, a School Messenger notification will be sent so you will be aware of the change.
We appreciate your cooperation on this matter.
