Having students at school daily is so important. We love seeing smiling faces at school every day, and hope you can help us with good attendance when we come back from winter break. If your child is absent, please make sure to let us know. If there's a specific need that you have in helping getting your child to school, we have a ton of resources that might be helpful.

Winter Break: December 20th, 2024-January 3rd, 2025

We hope that you all have a happy and healthy winter break and holiday season with your family!

Raptor Sign in in the Office:

Tyson, along with all other ASD schools, is adding a Raptor Visitor Management system beginning January 6th, 2025.The Raptor Technologies safety software will add an extra layer of campus security. Upon entry, visitors, volunteers, and ASD staff whose primary location is outside of our campus must sign in using the self-serve kiosk. Starting 1/6/25, all adult visitors to Tyson will be required to present and scan a current government-issued photo ID upon entering the school. This adjustment to our visitor management policy is a significant step forward in strengthening our school’s safety protocols.

IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATES

Winter is officially here! Please make sure that your child has a hat, gloves, jacket, boots and snow pants every day. Students go out to recess until it's -10 degrees.

Please also follow Tyson on Facebook and stay tuned for email and text updates from us and reach out to us at any time!

The goal for all students it to 90% or better attendance, which means less than 8 absences per year.

This year, our school will use a universal social-emotional-behavior screener during our assessment Fall (September), Winter (December), and Spring (April). It's called the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS). This screener helps teachers find needed classroom structures and identify students who might benefit from extra support. Our PBIS team will use this information to help us ensure that we are supporting all our students and meeting their social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Classroom teachers will rate students outside of learning time so no instructional time is lost. Please contact your principal with any questions.
