Howdy, Tiger Families! 

As we wrap up this week, we want to wish all of our Cypress Springs families a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break! We hope the time away brings opportunities to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments together. When we return, we’re excited to jump right back into the fun with our upcoming Field Day on March 27, a day our Cypress community always looks forward to! We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break, and we can’t wait to welcome our Tigers back soon.

As a reminder, Senate Bill 9 requires all Texas public schools to instruct students on the prevention of child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking. However, it also requires parental consent for a student to participate in these SHAC-recommended and board-approved lessons. Students without parental/guardian consent will not receive the instruction. The consent forms will be sent to parents via Actionaly.

🐯 This week’s tip: Encourage Curiosity!

Children learn best when they are curious and asking questions. When your child wonders about something, how something works, why something happens, or what something means, take a moment to explore the answer together. You might look it up in a book, search for information together, or even try a simple experiment at home.

Encouraging questions like “Why do you think that happens?” or “What do you think will happen next?” helps children develop critical thinking skills and confidence in their ideas. When kids see that their curiosity is valued, they become more engaged learners both at home and at school.

Small conversations sparked by curiosity can turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.
