Cheboygan Area Schools

Subject:  Support Plan for Tomorrow, Tuesday, at the INT School: This morning, all administrators convened at 10:00 AM in the BR to finalize our plans for the start of the school day tomorrow at the INT school. We will have a robust response team of social workers and counselors stationed at the INT/MS Media Center beginning at 7:15 AM. They will provide situational assessments on an individual basis. If students or staff need assistance or someone to talk to in the morning, they will be directed to the Media Center where the Response Team will be available. Additionally, we will have extra administrators stationed in the foyer and cafeteria to monitor student behavior and provide support. Ben Wilson, HS AP, will be present at the INT building for the remainder of this week to assist and support Ben Schley, as well as the INT teachers and students. Please keep the Tamlyn family in your thoughts and prayers. 

Due to the unprecedented loss today of Jim Tamlyn, I have heard from many staff and students that are hurting and trying to cope with this shocking news. Therefore, we will be closing all schools tomorrow and using an Emergency Day so that our staff and students can take the day to digest this sad news. Tuesday morning, we will resume our regular schedule and we will have our Crisis Response Team ready for any staff or students that still may need someone to talk too. Please keep the Tamlyn family in your thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cheboygan Families, It is with profound sadness that I write to inform you of the unexpected passing of our dedicated intermediate school principal, Jim Tamlyn. This loss is deeply felt by all of us who had the privilege of working with Principal Tamlyn. To support our students and staff during this period of grief, a Crisis Response Team will be available at the school tomorrow and throughout the week. We encourage you to reach out to the school if your child requires assistance or if you have any concerns about how they are coping with this news. Thank you for your understanding and support as we come together to navigate through this difficult time. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family. Sincerely, Spencer Byrd Superintendent

Mr. Waite's science class had a blast learning about buoyancy while doing the 'floating egg' experiment. #GoChiefs!!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Johnson for putting on the Middle Schools first student birthday party of the year! Students with birthdays in September and some summer birthdays were celebrated today!

Great work by Lisa Gibbons and Jason Friday for painting the new ticket booth at the track complex! The sports boosters and Cheboygan Cement Products contributed with materials. What a great addition to the athletic department.

Use these thought provoking questions with your children after school, in the evening. Good Stuff...

Cheboygan Area Schools is fortunate to have officer Fenlon as our school resource officer. Not only does he help keep our students and staff safe, he also is willing to step in where help ins needed!
