Howdy, Tiger Families!
Each week, we are reminded how special our Cypress Springs community truly is. Our students are growing not only in their academics but also in their character—showing kindness, perseverance, and teamwork in so many ways. Thank you for being such strong partners in this journey. Your encouragement at home helps our Tigers continue to shine bright each day!
We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween with your Tigers!

CSES Mission: We Trust! We Accept! We Persevere!

Principal and Assistant Principal
Look for everyday opportunities to connect school topics to the real world—measuring while cooking, identifying shapes while driving, or comparing prices at the store. Making those connections helps kids understand why learning is useful.
When: Tuesday, November 11th
Where: Outside on the Bus Loop
Time: 8:30 am - 9:30 am
Please sign in through the front office to get a visitor tag upon arrival.
The RSVP will close Wednesday, November 5th at noon.
We look forward to having you join us!
***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.***

Our DSISD 18+ program has been hard at work preparing the stock of DSISD School Spirit Scribbler Pens — and they’re finally ready for you to purchase!
JROTC Student Led Military Club proudly partners with Toys for Tots and the Marine Corps to help raise toys and money for Austin children. We are grateful for the support of all the schools in DSISD and the many local businesses and neighborhoods who host boxes and promote this great cause.
Host locations will collect toys from Oct 1 - Nov 25 and then military club students will collect all the toys and organize them at the high school. The Marines will pick them up in the first week of December and distribute them to families in need throughout the month of December.
