Howdy, Tiger Families! 

Happy November! November is always a wonderful time to pause and reflect on all that we’re thankful for here at Cypress Springs.

Together, we make CSE a truly special place to learn and grow!

🐯 This week’s tip: Practice a Growth Mindset!

Mistakes are part of learning! When your child feels frustrated, remind them that their brain grows when they try new things. Use phrases like, “You can’t do it yet, but you will,” or “I love how you kept trying.” This helps them build resilience and persistence.

***Please note, this RSVP does not necessarily mean we will be able to pre-print a badge for you.  If we are able to pre-print your badge, you will still need to show your ID in order to receive it. If we are unable to pre-print your badge, you will need to allow for additional time have your ID scanned at the front office to obtain a badge.***
