Teachers will be in training on Monday the 6th, and students will come back to school on Tuesday the 7th. Can’t wait to see our Tigers!
We sent home a reading bingo challenge to encourage our students and families to keep reading over the holiday break. You can check your child’s backpack or use this template. Happy reading! (Students can return the sheet to their teacher when we return from break).
STEM (science-technology-engineering-math) challenges with marshmallows in 3rd Grade. Our students love design challenges.

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.
