Book Fair Was a Success!
A roaring thank you to our dino-mite Tyler families for supporting the book fair. It was great to see so many of our families at our events and to see our students so excited about their new books. We can't wait to bring new books and supplies to the library with our fundraising money. Didn't get a chance to shop, or looking for some favorite titles we sold out of? Online shopping is still available, and sales will benefit our school library until November 4th. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/tylerelementaryschool3
Our library classes will resume next week. Be sure to remind your student to locate their library books over the long weekend. As soon as they return their book(s), they will be able to check out a new one. If you aren't sure what book is checked out to your student, please contact Mrs. Taubken in the library. Happy Reading
Help Support Tyler Elementary: Complete the Impact Aid Survey
If you have not completed the Impact Aid survey, please do so by December 15, 2026. The following are a few key facts from the Impact Aid website to provide you further information about Impact Aid:
- School districts with military installations or other federal lands within their boundaries lose local revenue because of nontaxable federal activities. Impact Aid funding partially reimburses school districts for this loss of locally derived revenue.
- Examples of eligible federal properties include national parks, military installations, and federal office buildings but there are many more.
- Federally connected and military connected are not the same. Parents can be federally connected but are not military connected. This is why it is important for ALL parents to complete the Impact Aid survey.
- Parent information captured on the Impact Aid survey is used solely to submit the Impact Aid application.
Since enrollment changes and students move from year to year, the U.S. Department of Education requires school districts to count students annually. With that said, parents should complete a new Impact Aid survey every school year.
