| Study Hall & Afternoon Expectations |
Tyee is happy to provide a 45 minute Study Hall period on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00-4:45pm. It is expected that students who attend engage in schoolwork independently or small groups, and that conversations be limited. If students are disruptive or unsafe in Study Hall, they may be referred to their Assistant Principal and/or dismissed from Study Hall. In such cases, students should report to the Main Office to use the phones to contact home to arrange transportation. |
| Picture Retakes |
If your student missed Picture Day on September 20, not to fear! Retakes will be hosted at Tyee on Tuesday, November 1st. |
| Visiting Campus |
Thank you families and caretakers for supporting a safe and learning-centered environment during the school day. Some key reminders below:
- All visitors are to check-in at the Main Office. This includes before and after school times.
- Visitors must sign-in at the LobbyGuard vestibule, and wear a visible badge through the day.
- If meeting with a Teacher, an appointment is required. Please e-mail the Teacher to arrange the appointment date/time.
- Please do not drop-off forgotten student items (including laptops, instruments, or school work). Your student will be OK and we will help them with whatever they forgot! We do not have the staff to facilitate deliveries, and it is disruptive to pull students from class.
- Emergency items such as medication, cold weather jackets, or house keys are exceptions
