Good Evening Tyee Community,

Wishing you all a safe and healthy start to the week. We wanted to start tonight expressing our care and concern for our neighbors members impacted by this weekend’s landslide in Somerset. We are inspired by the outpouring of support neighbors are sharing with one another and extend our hearts out to all those impacted.

We also want to thank Tyee families for their ongoing commitment to the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. With staff staying home when sick, and caregivers ensuring students are well enough to attend in the mornings, we’re able to help slow the spread in our school and community.

-Byron Lillie, Principal
