Tigers to Rock the STAARs!
Please join in on our 2025 WCHE PTO Online Auction benefiting WCHE, our students, and staff. We are so excited to share all of the amazing offerings from our very generous community. This year's auction includes everything from a Sonesta Bee Cave 2-night stay, sailboat rentals, local hill country experiences to summer camps and birthday parties. The grade level baskets should not be missed! This is also your chance to bid on school experiences for your child including: teacher for half day, donuts with Officer Candoli, eat lunch with the Principal and more!
Please keep in mind that the campus experiences are for the 2025-2026 school year; thus, if bidding on behalf of your 2025-2026 Tiger be sure to keep in mind what grade your Tiger will be in next year. For example, if he/she is a 1st grade Tiger this year, you'd want to bid on a 2nd grade experience.
The auction begins Monday, March 31, at 8 am and closes on Friday, April 4, at 8:30 pm during our Tiger Gala. The auction is being held on Bid Beacon and can be accessed online via this link or through the Bid Beacon App available on Apple or Android devices. After you've registered an account with Bid Beacon, select the Join Auction button. The auction invitation code is JYVQH7.
We would love to see you all at our Tiger Gala on Friday. Tickets can still be purchased in Konstella.
Thank you for participating and happy bidding!
April 4 @ 6 pm! See you there!

It is that time of year again where we begin to work on our next school year schedule and class lists. The parent input form for the 25-26 school year is open! In making class assignments, our goal is to place each child in a class where he or she can be most successful.
A secondary goal is to also maintain a balance among classes in terms of gender, academic ability, disciplinary and social needs, learning styles, and individual needs of the students. All information shared is confidential and submitted electronically to West Cypress Hills Elementary administration.
We hope to make classroom assignments that will maximize the opportunity for your child’s success. If you have information you would like to have considered in your child’s placement, please complete and submit this form. Please limit your input to the way your child learns and any information we should consider.

We also have lists of the school supplies for 2025-2026 so that, if you prefer, you can purchase the supplies on your own from any source convenient to you.
If you have a concern about the affordability of school supplies, please feel free to reach out to our School Counselor, Mr. Boren. We often have a limited supply of kits available, and he will be happy to discuss this with you.
On Monday, March 31, our school will be embarking on a special project: an all-school book club called One Community, One School, One Book. This week our Library is sending every Tiger family a copy of The Mouse and the Motorcycle, and we invite each family to read this book together at home during the program.
Please make the time for your family to participate in this special activity.
Thank you, WCHE PTO, for generously purchasing the books for us! As shown below, the Tigers in Mrs. Roy's 4th Grade class are very grateful and excited to receive their new books!
