Our dedicated teachers and supportive staff are here to help each child thrive, both academically and personally. We believe in creating a space where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and kindness is a core value. We give each student 3 Lynx Tracks each Quarter. Misbehaviors result in losing Lynx Tracks. If students still have any tracks by the end of the Quarter, they get to go on a reward Field Trip. Students can also earn special rewards with our Caught a Lynx award. This is when any staff member in the building sees a student going above and beyond. The staff member writes them up on a special form and they get recognized by the Principal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group family-community-highlights\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family and Community Engagements\/Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-19 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-1\"><strong>Halloween Carnival<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-2\"><strong>Ham Bingo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-3\"><strong>Family Resource Center<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-4\"><strong>Family Game Night<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-5\"><strong>Artist in Residency and Art Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-6\"><strong>Easter Egg Hunt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holiday Pageant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-7\"><strong>Salmon Celebration at Johnson Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-8\"><strong>Music Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group school-profile-goals\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goals for the year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the 2025-2026 school year, Tutustmena will have a full session (half-day) of Pre-K with a curriculum that prepares them academically and socially for Kindergarten.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the 2025-2026 school year, Tutustmena has seen an increase in Intensive Needs students, and to meet their needs, we will need to increase our staff as well and ensure all staff are properly trained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By May 2026, 70 percent of 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students will make annual growth in Reading as measured by the MAP Growth assessment.
