Cedar Valley Middle School - Round Rock ISD
Jaguar Tales

Dear Cedar Valley Families,

I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable Labor Day weekend! Although it was a short week, our students returned with great energy and focus. It’s been wonderful to see the momentum continue as they engage in their learning, support one another, and make steady progress in their classes.

Teachers have shared how impressed they are with students’ participation, responsibility, and growth mindset. It’s clear that the Cedar Valley spirit is strong, and we’re proud of the effort and dedication our students are showing each day.

Thank you for your ongoing support—it truly makes a difference. Let’s keep the positive energy going as we move into the weeks ahead!

Have a great weekend! Go Jags!

Larissa Ortiz, Cedar Valley Middle School Principal
