Cedar Valley Middle School - Round Rock ISD
Jaguar Tales

Dear Cedar Valley Families,

We've had a fantastic week here at Cedar Valley—our students continue to impress us with their curiosity, kindness, and commitment to learning. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping make our school a place where students feel encouraged and inspired every day.

Just a quick reminder: Picture Day is coming up this Wednesday, September 17. It's always a fun day for students, and a great way to capture memories from the school year. Information on how to order pictures online is included in this newsletter, so please take a moment to review those details.

We appreciate all you do and look forward to another great week ahead! Go Jags!

Larissa Ortiz, Cedar Valley Middle School Principal
