Howdy, Tiger Families!
We’ve made it to the final week before Spring Break! Our Tigers have been working hard, and we’re proud of the focus and effort they continue to show as we finish this stretch of learning. This week is a great time to encourage students to stay motivated and finish strong before a well-earned break. AND we hope to see everyone on Thursday evening for the PTA's Cypress Stampede!!!!!
Spring Break: No School for Students and Staff March 16-20. Enjoy your Break!! We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the final part of the school year!
Lost and Found: Our Lost & Found will be in the vestibule at the Front Entrance for this last week before Spring Break. Please stop by and pick up all those lost winter coats and sweatshirts!
HEB Plastic Bag Recycling Program: See below for more info! Please bring your plastic bags in to CSES (there is a box in the vestibule) for us to recycle. HEB is donating a gift card to Cypress based on the number of bags we collect. Please be sure bags are empty and clean/dry.
Student Transfers: The window for in-district student transfers is opening soon. Student transfers for employees and grandfathered students are open February 16, 2026 - April 1, 2026. All other transfer requests opened on March 2, 2026. Transfer notifications will be made by May 1, 2026.

As we head into the final week before spring break, our Lost & Found is overflowing! We will have all lost items moved to the vestibule (front entrance of the school) this week to make it easy for families to take a look. If your child has been missing a jacket, water bottle, lunchbox, or other item, please stop by and check for it. Any items not claimed before spring break will be donated. Thank you for helping reunite these items with their owners! 🧥🎒
Spring is almost here, and our school garden is slowly coming back to life! We are excited to begin another season of planting, exploring, and learning with our students. To get our garden fully ready, we are in need of a little extra help. We are in need of bags of garden soil to refill our beds and give our spring plants the best chance to grow healthy and strong.
We’ve added soil to our Amazon Wishlist to make donating easy. Soil is our highest priority, BUT we would appreciate anything off of our Amazon wishlist!
Additionally, if you have any connections to local landscaping companies, nurseries, or garden centers that might be willing to donate soil, compost, or mulch, we’d love to hear about it!
Every donation helps our students learn, grow, and enjoy the experience of caring for a living garden. Thank you for supporting our school garden, we appreciate you! Any questions or concerns, please email amanda.mack@dsisdtx.us.
As we head into Spring Break, this is a great time to help your child finish the week strong. Encourage them to stay focused, complete assignments with care, and reflect on what they’ve learned so far this semester. A quick conversation like, “What are you most proud of?” or “What goal do you want to finish before break?” can help reinforce responsibility and motivation.
