Office Open on Monday
Our office will be open Monday, 8/17/2020 through Wednesday 8/19/2020 from 8:00am - 2:00pm. On Thursday, 8/20/2020 and Friday, 8/21/2020 it will be open from 7:30am - 3:30 pm. Please practice 6-ft social distancing guidelines and wear a mask while on campus.
Class assignments
Class Assignments will be available on-line on my.iusd.org through the parent portal beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 19th. If you need assistance accessing the parent portal, please contact our school office or helpdesk@iusd.org. Students who are currently registered have been assigned to a classroom in the academic model you chose for them. As you know, the number of students assigned to a classroom is limited. Students were assigned to classes with great care based on a number of criteria; balance between boys and girls, equal number of students in each class, academic balance, individual student needs, and enrollment in specialized school programs. Please understand that priority is given to those criteria that protect the integrity of the classroom and ensure the best learning environment for all students.
Logging On The First Day
Communication will be sent on Wednesday with information on how to log on for the first day of school.

Data Confirmation
If you have not already done so, please complete and update information online through our data confirmation process. Please click here for instructions explaining how to complete the yearly student data confirmation process through the parent portal. It is imperative that this process be completed before school begins. As part of the data confirmation process, you will be asked to read our Parent Handbook. The handbook covers a variety of pertinent guidelines and policies associated with our school and the district. Please read it carefully and review the information with your child. This information is also available on our school website. Please either print and deliver or email the Residency Verification and Health Forms to our office at CYEnroll@iusd.org.

Online applications are available in eight different languages. This is the fastest and safest way to complete an application.
Spirit Day on Wednesday, August 26th
Our first spirit day of the 2020-2021 school year is Mix & Match Day! We cannot wait to see your creativity with mixing up those patterns, colors, and styles. Wear your plaids with stripes and your leopard with polka dots. Have a blast with this! As a reminder, we celebrate spirit days in all our academic models.
PBIS At Home
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. PBIS is used across the US and internationally as a framework to help schools organize how they want their school community to be. We can apply something similar at home. PBIS provides structure and routines. At Cypress Village Elementary, your child(ren) is already familiar with the PBIS framework. Using what they already know from school can help us develop routines for learning from home. We start by identifying 5 positively stated expectations. These expectations help us set boundaries and routines, and can apply to everything from doing schoolwork, to being online, at the dinner table, or even getting ready for bed! As parents or guardians, you are in a unique position - suddenly you are teachers, who might also be working from home, trying to manage chaos during an incredibly stressful situation. We hope this guide will offer some tips to help calm that chaos and keep everyone happy and safe. Kudos to you, parents and guardians, and all you are managing to do!
