Today, 27 of our TCMS 8th graders who are in the 7th period CTE rotation attended the Explore: The New Manufacturing Regional Academy at West Virginia Northern Community College in Wheeling, WV. Students enjoyed presentations from Consol Innovations, Mull Group, and Tecnocap, who are all local manufacturing companies to the Wheeling area. Students ended the day with a STEM challenge to build the tallest tower out of paper and tape that could hold a can of food. Special recognition goes to Alexis, Julian, Sky, Dylan, and Jarrett, who built the tallest tower among all schools with a height of 38.5 inches! Great job, Knights!
We are so grateful to have Tyler County Lieutenant Detective Scott Dalrymple in our community! Today, he took the time to read stories to two of our 7th grade students and they absolutely loved it! Thank you, Scott Dalrymple, for being such a great role model and for making a positive impact on the lives of our young people!
Today, Thursday, November 14, marks the midterm of our second 9-weeks grading period. Parents/guardians are encouraged to log into the parent portal and check your student’s grades. If you have any concerns or would like to discuss your student's progress with a teacher, you can find staff email addresses on our school website, or feel free to call the school directly. We’re here to help support your child’s success!

📢 Important Event at Tyler Consolidated Middle School! 📢
Tomorrow, November 15th, we are excited to welcome Jim Holler, a retired police chief and nationally recognized expert in child safety and internet crime investigation, to Tyler Consolidated Middle School for a special presentation on Internet Safety for our middle and high school students. Mr. Holler has over 30 years of experience in law enforcement and has been instrumental in developing internet safety programs to protect children and teens from online dangers. His expertise has guided families, educators, and law enforcement agencies across the nation.
Parents and Guardians, your role in internet safety and social media use and misuse for your student is critical. While students will gain insights on managing online interactions, you are key to creating a safe online environment at home. Parental monitoring and guidance can significantly reduce risks, making the internet and social media platforms a safer space for our students. Most importantly, please check their phones and internet usage!
With your help we can build a safer, more supportive community—both online and offline. Please, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call the school.
After-School Tutoring schedule for November. Please call the school if you would like your child to stay for additional academic support.

Today, we rewarded our students who have met expectations in attendance, academics, and behavior so far this school year with a trip to the Wheeling Nailers School Day Game. Mrs. Moore’s advisory class, winners of our Attendance Madness competition, had the honor of holding the American Flag on the ice during the National Anthem, while Mr. Maiden’s advisory class, the runners-up, got to high-five the players in the tunnel as they took the ice. It was a great day recognizing our students’ hard work and commitment.

Today, our eighth-grade students had an incredible experience at the Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling University. They took part in Operation Comet, where they worked together to solve the challenging task of stopping fragments of a broken comet from heading toward Earth. It was inspiring to see their collaboration and problem-solving skills as they navigated roles between the spacecraft and mission control room.
Both of our mission groups performed exceptionally well, demonstrating teamwork and dedication throughout the simulation. Their efforts were rewarded with the Stellar Mission award, highlighting their commitment to the task and to each other. This field trip provided our students with a unique opportunity to learn in an immersive environment, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they rose to the challenge. #OperationComet #KnightsPride
