Who We Are: Our Community and School Culture

  • Each of our schools’ leadership teams analyzed the factors that impact their students’ ability to engage deeply and achieve academic success. They shared stories of their students and families, some of whom are facing serious challenges associated with physical wellness, social-emotional stability, unique learning needs, family security, mental health, violence, and food/housing uncertainties. They discussed the obstacles that their students face daily when preparing to come to school on time, ready to learn.

    Questions such as the following drove discussions around Anne Arundel County: 

    • What are the challenges and obstacles that negatively affect our students’ engagement and achievement most significantly and why?
    • Are we analyzing our data and listening closely to learn about all of our students when we seek to understand our learners’ social-emotional and academic struggles?
    • How do cultural differences, language challenges, transportation difficulties, health problems, and frequent family relocation (mobility) serve as obstacles to school success for our students?
    • What resources and supports are available within AACPS and across our county to support students and families in need?  How do we help our families receive the supports they need?

Our School Culture

  • Below is the school’s story as seen through the eyes of school leaders. They discuss the culture of their school and the community.

    The Tyler Heights Elementary School culture is rooted in our shared values. In 2015, our team developed a School Vision Task Force. For the following two years, we worked to establish our shared values and create a school vision and mission that would guide how we teach and learn. Our vision for Tyler Heights Elementary is Together is How we Excel. Our values express a need for positive relationships with families, students, and all staff that are authentic and based on mutual respect and trust, and our goals reflect our desire to cultivate relationships with all stakeholders. While we nurture the whole child, we will collaboratively strive for high expectations while maintaining innovative and engaging instruction to meet the needs of our diverse learners. 

    We also continuously focus on positive, authentic relationships based on mutual respect and trust for all families, students, and staff.  Students and staff feel a sense of belonging and connection through support of consistent Team Tyler PBIS expectations, book studies, recognition ceremonies, and after school community-based partnership programs. We believe that TOGETHER is how we will excel!
