Tynes Weekly Updates

Tiger Community,

At Tynes, we believe that what our students eat fuels how they feel, focus, and learn throughout the day. A balanced meal helps keep energy levels steady, attention sharp, and minds ready for learning. We’re fortunate that our community-based lunch program provides healthy meals at no cost to all students—but we know that some families prefer to send lunch from home, and we appreciate the care you put into making those lunches nutritious and enjoyable.

As a reminder, our District Wellness Policy asks that we avoid fast food items and carbonated beverages on campus. While it can be tempting to grab a quick lunch on the go or a special treat for your child, these options often work against our efforts to promote healthy habits. We’ve also noticed an increase in fast food being dropped off at the office—please know that this creates both a logistical challenge and a distraction for students. We kindly ask that lunches brought from home be packed in the morning and sent with your child at the start of the day whenever possible.

Thank you for supporting a healthy school environment where our Tigers can learn and play at their best. For more information about our nutrition guidelines, please refer to the Parent Handbook linked at the bottom of this newsletter.

Sincerely,

Dr. Borgese, Principal

The State of California mandates vision and hearing screening for students in public

school. The screening for your elementary school will be conducted on Friday, October

24, 2025 by nurses. The exam consists of visual inspection of the eye, along with a test

for acuity. Hearing testing consists of your child wearing headphones, where tones are

presented, and your child will raise his/her hand.

Parents will be notified by mail if their child’s vision or hearing screen shows a need for

further medical evaluation. If you have any questions, call the Health Services

Department at (714) 996-1551 and speak with a district nurse.

Should you decide that you DO NOT wish to have your child participate in the

above screening; a written note by a parent/guardian will be required to be on file.

Please give the note to the school’s health clerk.

Thank you,

Health Services
