Cypress Elementary School
Ron Dillender, Principal 
 Welcome to Cypress Elementary School. We of the Cypress Elementary Staff are committed to providing our students with instruction and services focused on meeting the needs of our diverse student population. We work to build upon the students' strengths to ensure that they will have a positive school experience and develop a lifelong desire for knowledge. We work to help every individual Climb Higher and Shine Brighter; to achieve academically and become productive citizens in the future. One great measure of our success is evidenced by Cypress Elementary School meeting all of its API and AYP goals for 2006-2007. This happened because of the combined and dedicated efforts of Cypress families and staff focusing on individual student needs and progress. In addition to high quality instruction provided in classrooms, students and families also benefit from an open computer lab, after-school academic programs, daytime tutoring for specific students, and a number of other programs. When visiting Cypress, we are confident that you will find a school that demonstrates positive change, a faculty that is professionally skilled and personally committed to meeting the educational needs of students, and a student population that is excited and motivated to do well.  Cypress Elementary School is one of twenty-nine elementary schools in the Fontana Unified School District. It is a single-track, year-round school with approximately 852 students in preschool through grade five. The Cypress population is a rich mixture of 83.7% Hispanic, 6.4% Caucasian, 5.9% African-American, 2.6% Other ethnic backgrounds and 1.6% Multiple or no response. Cypress Elementary School is fortunate to have parents who are involved in the education of their children through volunteering in classrooms and participating in the School Site Council (SCC), Bilingual Advisory Council (BAC) and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Our PTA provides funding for field trips, student recognition, classroom projects, and programs which help students and families in need. At Cypress we believe that all students can learn. Instruction is focused on students success and guided by the California Curriculum Frameworks, the document It's Elementary, district guidelines and our school plan. Integrated, activity-based instruction is emphasized across the curriculum, with emphasis placed on early literacy development and hands-on, manipulative experiences in all subject areas, but especially in Math and Science. Our 2006-07 School Accountability Report Card is available online. (Oprima aquí para español).
