Things You Should Know:

Learning. Thank you to those who were able to attend Parent Teacher Conferences. Students whose parents stay involved in school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills and adapt better to school. Your involvement sets your child(ren) up to develop a lifelong love of learning, which is key to long-term success! Tyhee is a school where everyone can be a leader and lead their own learning. So far, we have been working on BEING PROACTIVE and this month we will focus on Habit 2:BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND. When students practice Habit 2, they learn to set clear goals and make thoughtful decisions that align with their long-term vision. This habit helps them stay focused, motivated, and organized, as they understand the purpose behind their actions. By thinking ahead and planning with their goals in mind—whether academic, personal, or otherwise—they are more likely to make choices that lead to success and personal growth. This habit empowers students to take control of their future with confidence and direction.

Attendance.

Fall into routines that stick! Now is a great time to create reliable morning and evening routines. Prep lunchboxes, backpacks, and outfits the night before to avoid morning stress. Staying “On Time, In School, Every Day” helps learners keep up and stand out. When learners feel prepared and supported, they show up to school confident and ready. Safety. Please do not drop your child off at school before 7:30. The playground is not supervised until then. All adults must check into the office before entering the playground during school hours. ~ We will be creating a new drop off video the morning of Tuesday, October 7th. An employee from the SD25 district office will be out front filming our process for future Tyhee community members. We appreciate how well drop off is going and are sure that we will get great footage of our routine. No students will be filmed close up for safety reasons. Notifications. Please notify the office before 1:45 pm (12:45 on early release Mondays) of changes to your child’s transportation after school. We will not pull kids off of buses after students begin loading at 2:12. Be sure to contact us early if you will be picking up a bus rider.

Counselor's Corner:
This month, counseling lessons will focus on growth-mindset and goal-setting. Mrs. Wells will be utilizing the Second Step Curriculum and Leader in Me to guide classroom counseling information.

Welcome back! Things You Should Know:
Learning. Each new school year is a chance for students to grow – not just in their schoolwork, but in all parts of life. We want every child to learn and be healthy, kind, responsible, and ready to help others.
We’re so glad your family is part of our school! We are excited to work together with you and your child. As a Leader in Me School, we believe that everyone in your family has greatness, and we look forward to learning and growing with you. Leader in Me is based on research and was created as a way to give students the leadership and life skills they need to succeed today and in the future.

Through the 7 Habits lessons, each child becomes their best self and finds their voice. As each child discovers their unique strengths, they are given opportunities to lead, become more confident, responsible, and ready to take action. They also learn to listen to others, work as a team, and help each other do their best. Let’s work together and help every child grow this year!

Attendance. Let’s start strong! September is Attendance Awareness Month. Establish strong routines early: consistent bedtimes, packed bags, and backup plans for getting to school. Learners who are "On
Time, In School, Every Day" build momentum that leads to lifelong success. Strong achievement begins with strong attendance.

Safety. Please do not drop your child off at school before 7:30. The playground is not supervised until then.

~ Thank you for following our drop-off procedures! It is helping drop off time go so much smoother, and we always want our learners and families to be safe. Be sure to use the marked crosswalks to cross lanes of traffic.

~ Remember, parents/guardians are not allowed on the playground during school hours without checking into the office first.

Notifications. Please notify the office before 1:45 pm (12:45 on early release Mondays) if there is an unexpected change to your child’s transportation after school. We will not pull kids off of buses if you do not notify the school on time.

No better way to start your day than with a donut, a good book, and better company. Yesterday, we went to Tyhee Elementary School where we had the honor of joining parents and community members for the "Donuts with Grownups" event. It’s always a pleasure to connect with our community. Thanks, Tyhee!

“I am nominating Ms. Luce because she inspired me to be the best I can be. She deserves this prize, she is such a positive and amazing teacher.” Alexis

“Ms. Luce was a fun, kind, and good teacher, she was my 5th grade teacher and I will never forget her.  She taught my class in a way that made it so I understood really well. She made me go out of my comfort zone which made it so I was a better student.”  Brielle C.

“Ms. Luce was my 5th grade teacher at Tyhee and I found her inspirational and she was my favorite teacher because of her kindness to me.  She inspired me to always be nice to people and to those who struggle.  I struggled more than other kids and I didn’t understand simple concepts, Ms. Luce would sit down with me and walk me through it even if she had to explain it to me over and over again, she remained patient.” Katherine D.
