John Tyson Elementary

Don’t forget the Penny War starts tomorrow!!!

Some of our Tyson Tiger students presented to Dr. Rollins and our School Board sharing examples of how we “dare” to take risks in our strategies, be innovative in our thinking, and personalize our learning. #THEChoice #launchintolearning

Due to inclement weather, we will be canceling tutoring this afternoon. Also the 4th grade Veterans Day program for tonight has been rescheduled to next Monday night, November 18th. Students will need to arrive at 5:30 and the program will be at 6:00.

We had guests this morning to deliver a message about kindness and anti-bullying. Miss New Hampshire High, Anna Claire Hay, had student volunteers race to squeeze the toothpaste out of the toothpaste tubes. Then they had to try to put the toothpaste back in. Not so easy. The point was that when we say unkind words, it’s not so easy to take them back and make it right. Also, she taught us about being brave...b-build, r-relationships, a-and, v-value, e-everyone.

Can you believe it’s November already? Please mark your calendars for our Thanksgiving break. Since we will have a full week off for Thanksgiving, let’s strive to make this a “no miss” November and not miss a single day of school so we can continue to grow our learning to great levels. Happy November!

Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour when you go to bed Saturday night. Also, daylight savings time is a good time to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors and carbon dioxide detectors in your home.

World Food Week is November 4th-8th. JTE students may bring in non-perishable items for our food drive next week that will benefit local families.

John Tyson Elementary Important Safety Notice RE: Car Rider Tags Anyone picking up students in our car rider line must display a car rider tag on their rear view mirror the entire time until the child is safely loaded in the car. If you do not have a car tag, you must leave the car rider line, park in a parking space, and go to the office with your current ID to get a car rider tag. Even if you are in a different car or send a different person to pick up your child(ren), you must have a car rider tag. This is for safety purposes and will be enforced.

Just a reminder that we will not have school this Friday or Monday for students. Enjoy your Fall break.

Dear Tyson School Family, I wanted to share with you all that I got to go to Washington DC last week to be honored and recognized as a National Distinguished Principal! Wow! What an honor that I will never forget. I got to meet 60 other National Distinguished Principals from across our country, got to meet people like US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and others from the US Dept of Education, and many other awesome experiences. But to be honest, I feel that this is OUR award and recognition! It takes all of us working together to be the best we can be for our students and all of our school family. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I will write more about this experience soon, but wanted to share this experience with you now as I am so proud of all of us and proud to be a Tyson Tiger. Thank you again. Shelly Poage, Proud Principal
