Dear Tyee Families,

We hope you are all doing well. Staying healthy and safe.

We wanted to let you know about what remote learning will look like for your student after Spring Break at Tyee.

I am sure you have heard from many of your student’s teachers as they are eager to see/communicate with their students. They miss them dearly.  We all do.

Starting April 13, and until we find out what is going to happen with school closures, Tyee teachers and students will be following the schedule outlined at the end of this letter. Your student should find assignments/activities posted on the platform their teacher has communicated to them by 8:00 a.m. each Monday.  

Teachers will have dedicated class support hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, according to the schedule that follows this letter.   We have created these hours so as your student works through the work on Mondays and Tuesdays and questions arise they can be answered. During this time, teachers will be available live via email, or the online platform that teachers communicate to you.

Please let’s work together to make sure your students do the following: 

• Engage with each of their classwork teachers regularly and, at a minimum, once a week
• Students access their teacher during their normally scheduled period. 
• If students cannot access teachers during the scheduled times, please have them email their teacher. 
• Students are also encouraged to meet with their advisors online every Friday. Advisors will coordinate meeting times with their advisees. 

Please know we are in this together.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any concerns, questions, or wonderings you may have.

Your Admin Team,

Estimadas familias de Tyee,

Esperamos que todos estén bien. Mantenerse sano y seguro.

Queríamos informarle sobre cómo será el aprendizaje remoto para su estudiante después de las vacaciones de primavera en Tyee.

Estoy seguro de que ha escuchado a muchos de los maestros de sus estudiantes, ya que están ansiosos por ver/comunicarse con sus estudiantes. Los extrañan mucho. Todos lo hacemos.

A partir del 13 de abril y hasta que sepamos qué sucederá con el cierre de las escuelas, los maestros y estudiantes de Tyee seguirán el cronograma que se detalla al final de esta carta. Su estudiante debe encontrar las tareas / actividades publicadas en la plataforma que su maestro les ha comunicado a las 8 am todos los lunes.

Los maestros tendrán horas dedicadas de apoyo en clase los miércoles y jueves, de acuerdo con el horario que sigue a esta carta. Hemos creado estas horas para que su estudiante trabaje en el trabajo los lunes y martes y surjan preguntas que puedan ser respondidas. Durante este tiempo, los maestros estarán disponibles en vivo por correo electrónico, o la plataforma en línea que los maestros le comuniquen.

Trabajemos juntos para asegurarnos de que sus alumnos hagan lo siguiente:

•  Involucrarse con cada uno de sus maestros de trabajo de clase regularmente y, como mínimo, una vez a la semana.
•  Los estudiantes acceden a su maestro durante su período normalmente programado.
•  Si los estudiantes no pueden acceder a los maestros durante los horarios programados, pídales que envíen un correo electrónico a su maestro.
•  Los estudiantes también son alentadores para reunirse con sus asesores en línea todos los viernes. Los asesores coordinarán los horarios de las reuniones con sus asesores.

Por favor, sepa que estamos juntos en esto.

No dude en comunicarse con nosotros con cualquier inquietud, pregunta o pregunta que pueda tener.

Su equipo de administración,

Timothy Schlosser

Celebrating Our Tyee Class of 2020

Graduation

Students are scheduled for a specific time. Find your time here.

Tyee High School
Location: Tyee Parking Lot
Date: Saturday, June 13
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Congratulations to the Tyee High School Class of 2020. Our seniors have worked hard, and they deserve to be celebrated. We wish we could give them a traditional graduation ceremony, but since that is not possible due to the pandemic, we have worked hard to plan a creative way to celebrate commencement. 

Seniors and families will be scheduled to rotate through a drive-through graduation ceremony at Tyee High School on Saturday, June 13. Wearing their cap and gown, each student will receive their diploma cover, get a professional photo taken, and be cheered on by teachers and staff with appropriate social distancing. Students will also receive senior awards, graduation programs and Class of 2020 memorabilia.  

We know it will not be the same as a traditional commencement because the whole class cannot be there together at the same time. However, everyone will have a chance to be honored in front of their families, see the teachers who have supported them, and be at their school one last time.
 

Check out Frequently Asked Questions for the Class of 2020 including information about graduation, credits, state assessments and more.

Visit the Counseling Center page for information on how to reach your counselors and many other resources.

E-L      9:30am – 11am

            11am – 11:30am break

R-Z      1pm – 2:30pm

11^th Grade Check Out Date – Tuesday, June 16

9^th through 11^th graders may keep their Chromebooks and hotspots to use over the summer.

Requirements for Graduation

High school students will receive an A, B or C to earn credit, or an I (no credit). Incomplete indicates the student was not on track to earn credit as of March 17 and has not engaged in learning since school buildings closed.

Grades Online and more

During the school closure if you need a transcript please Michael Borges, the registrar.

Please make sure that you send the email from your school issued gmail account. We will only process your request if it is sent from that email.

• If you are requesting an official transcript, please include where you want it mailed to. If you request it be sent to a college, please include the name of the college as well as the city and state it is located in. Official transcripts will take up to 72 hours to be mailed out. Please note we cannot email official transcripts at this time.
• If you are requesting unofficial transcripts, they will be emailed to you within 24 to 48 hours.

This year the district’s summer school program will be offered online as credit retrieval courses. IF your student is eligible for summer school, you can expect a letter, robo call home, and email encouraging you to sign up your student for summer school (eligible students are students who have failed a course that will be offered during summer school). With the district’s current 24 credit graduation requirements, it is important that students retrieve any missed credits in order for them to graduate on time. Summer school is a really great option to do this. If you have questions, please contact your student’s school counselor:

9^th grade: Nicole Dock (nicole.dock@highlineschools.org)

10^th grade: Maile Valu (maile.valu@highlineschools.org)

11^th grade: Michael Whitfield (michael.whitfield@highlineschools.org)

12^th grade: Jenn Truong (jenn.truong@highlineschools.org)

FEEST’s Free Groceries for Families at Tyee – Request specific grocery items and have it delivered to your home. Learn more, and request groceries here!

Catholic Community services are planning to have a distribution of food boxes on Saturday, May 30 from 10am-2pm in the parking lot of Holy Family Church, SW Roxbury and 19 Ave SW.  The food boxes arrive in a refrigerated truck.  People can drive in one entrance, follow the marked lanes & have food loaded directly into their trunk (or pickup truck bed) to avoid contact.  Each family can take up to 75# of food (one produce box, one dairy box, one assorted box).  If someone is picking up for several clients they can take more boxes as needed.  People do not need to show any ID or registration, so any barriers are removed.  We can serve up to 616 families if everyone takes 3 boxes (approx. 1900 boxes per truck).  The food comes directly from the food distributor (Pacific Coast Fruits) and will be refrigerated the entire time, so there should not be any food safety concerns.

• Students can get medical and mental health care from their Teen Clinic while schools are closed.   
• Patients should call the Tyee clinic at (206) 277-7210.  Walk-in access is not available.   
• Every mental health and medical appointment will be by phone and very few follow-up medical visits will be in person.  Most health care providers are working this way during the COVID-19 pandemic.  If you need an in-person appointment the clinic will set that up with you. 
• If a student has never used the Tyee Teen Clinic they will need to register with the clinic.  This can now be done electronically!  Please call the clinic directly at (206) 277-7210 to get the electronic versions. 

Worry & Stress

It is normal to feel worry and stress at this time. Remember to keep things in perspective and try not to overestimate the dangers or underestimate your abilities to protect yourself and cope

• For most Americans, the health risk is low
• Remember to protect yourself  by washing your hands, avoid touching your face, and practicing social distancing
• Boost your immune system by eating healthy foods (regular meals, 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day), getting enough sleep (8-10 hours per night), and staying hydrated (8 cups of water per day)

Addressing Your Stress

Find healthy ways to address your stress:

• Limit the amount of time you are watching, reading, or listening to news stories. Limit time on social media.
• Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate (see list of apps below)
• Create a daily routine and develop a schedule for yourself that includes time with others, homework/study, exercise, and fun relaxation activities.
• Reach out to your social circle and family. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
