Safety Drills Begin This Week:
Aristoi Cypress families, we are beginning our safety drills for the academic year this week. Students should expect the first fire drill and first lockdown drill. Both drills will use an automated system that will have an announcement and use the emergency system. Faculty and staff have been practicing with students. You may want to discuss at home with your scholars the drills. We appreciate partnering with you for school safety.

2025 - 2026 Swim Team
Swim Season is set to begin on October 1. In order to best understand our lane needs and manage practices and meets, we need an accurate number of team members. This will also help to see if Aristoi Cypress can add other scholars as part of a club. If we have too many scholars interested in Swim, we will have to have tryouts for the team. More details will follow.

Lunch Volunteers Needed
Griffins Unite! Aristoi is seeking volunteers to assist our staff with lunch duty. We kindly ask for adult volunteers only (younger children may not participate), and for everyone’s safety and consistency, volunteers will not be able to sit with their own students.

Lunch Visitor Guidelines Reminder
Parents are welcome to join their child for lunch during their scheduled time, except on testing days or when the administration calls for a closed campus. Parents and children will sit together in the designated lunchroom area, and while parents may bring lunch for their own child, they may not bring food for other students. If a non-parent adult will be visiting, parents must email the school at least one hour before the scheduled lunch period and include the visitor’s name. Please note that visitors may not visit with other students and must follow all Aristoi Classical Academy policies and procedures. Advanced notice is always appreciated, as it allows staff to ensure adequate seating.
