i love cypress school!!!! i went there from kindergarden to 5th grade!!!!! it was an awesome school my little brothers both went and go there and my mom works there it is an amazing school!!!!!! go cypress scorpions!!!!
I've had students enrolled at Cypress for the last 7 years. A lot of teachers are rude and show no respect for the students. There is also a serious lack of creativity in their lesson plans. I had high hopes for the new principal. It's been a year and I've not seen any changes. Only one more year to go and good riddance to Cypress!
Our children have attended Cypress for the past 4 yrs & have loved it up until last yr when Mrs. Brown was moved to another school & Mr. Bates was brought in as the new principle. Although he is friendly enough, there have been several instances where confidentiality & trust were broken by himself, their teachers & the secretary. Sadly, this has changed the way our family now views Cypress school & its staff. We have been extremely disappointed while witnessing the interaction of some of the "bus duty" teachers with the kids who are waiting for rides after school as well. Mr. Bates does not seem to know how to appropriately handle sensative situations & he is not good with following up with needed information. We were sad to see Mrs. Brown leave as she was an outstanding leader & well loved by students, parents & staff. We wish she would've taken the secretary with her! The secretary is not only rude & unfriendly to us, but also to many of the children. There have been many times over the past few years that she has treated us rudely & failed to get us much needed information in a timely manner. Her attitude seems to be that we are bothering her by even asking her for information.
dont act like u was the only person to be moved out of cypress get over it and move on....dont judge the principle over something he had to do...
I enrolled my 5 year old daughter into cypress and she went to her first and second day of school before her principle called me just to tell me that the school is overpacked and that she would have to go to lincoln! I was madder than a hornet. I feel that cypress has a horrible staff with terrible comunication skills. It looks like the principle missed a few days of school himself to not notice they were over packed by 20! kindergarten kids!
I love Cypress School. They have great teachers and staff but most of all they have the best Principal. She really cares about all her students. Way to go Cypress Scorpions!
Cypress is an incredible school. Starting with the principal, Mrs. Brown, and rolling downhill to the students. Mrs. Brown knows every child in the school by name and the kids respond to that. I have never seen an upset teacher, although I have seen some upset kids, when they get in trouble. Academics is extremely important, but so is getting to school on time, forming a favorable relationship with the local police department and staying drug free is also part of the mix. I can't say enough about Cypress School
Cypress Elementary School is a great school.I just moved here from another town and I love that my daughter's teacher makes sure that every child understands the curriculum. No child is left behind in learning. The staff and children at Cypress School has Great Spirit! It is overall a Great School! Keep up the good work Cypress Scorpions!!!
At Cypress, it is important to do your personal best and strive to always be the best you can be. In an atmostphere that encourages hard work, students can excel.
They have an excellent program for kids. THe teachers there are very caring. The number one thing that I appreciate the principal knows every kid there by name. SHe gets involved. Her as well as the teachers will go out of there way to attend some of the weekend activities of the students
I love this school The Principal and teachers really love thier jobs and children. They are the Bomb!!!!!!!
Val Brown is the best principal ever. She really rewards the positive. My kids love this school. My 9 year old has never missed a day of school yet, and has been recoginized for this achievement.
Mrs Brown, you are owesome !!! Cypress has amazing school spirit and dedicated teachers,, thank you Mrs. J. Gomes ,,,
The knowledge and caring of the teachers and staff of the school. My grandchildren look forward to attending school, and learning new things.
As a first time parent in public I have found Cypress to be welcoming, fun, and personal! They show that they not only care about the children's education, but also their social and emotianal growth as well! The Teachers are always happy to help and the Principal already new my Kindergarten childs name the first week! It's a great school!
The staff and the administrators are awesome and very friendly. My kids love to attend school, and many of the teachers and the administrators know them by name, which is very impressive, as they are Kindergartner and 1st grader. They enjoy learning and playing at Cypress.
