The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is seeking a staffing services contract to support the T'siya Day School (TDS) in Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, for the following school years (SY): 2025-26, to support special education students and self-contained students with autism. TDS is a K-6th-grade school, serving approximately 55 students. It is operated by the Bureau of Indian Education, under the direction of the Associate Deputy Director, Bureau Operated Schools, and the Albuquerque Education Resource Center (ABQ ERC).

The T'siya Day School

The T’siya Day School (TDS) is located in T’siya, NM, which is a Pueblo Tribal community. TDS serves the specific educational needs of the T’siya Day Pueblo community’s children. Health and safety are the top priorities as we establish effective learning programs to guide and support students from childhood through adolescence. T’siya Day School’s constant connection to the Pueblo community will nurture all students as they develop academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

The TDS is home to the Zia Suns. The mission is to make sure all students are educated in a holistic approach, academically, socially, and culturally. All students have access to high-quality learning resources and modalities for success in all academic settings. TDS tries to welcome students to an exciting learning environment where every day presents a new opportunity to grow. As the students soar and reach new academic heights, their futures become brighter. From childhood to adolescence, TDS students discover and develop a wide range of academic interests, skills, and talents.

The TDS academic programs help preserve tribal customs and build upon T’siya Day School’s history.

TDS embraces the Keres language, Zia pueblo arts, culture, and traditions. Qualified and experienced teaching staff help students to prepare and adjust to society’s continued technological advances while embracing all aspects of their true identities and ancestry. TDS understands the unique learning and teaching strategies necessary for the growth of its community. Eager children enter the doors of our learning center and exit them as leaders. As of February 2025, TDS has approximately 10 Special Education Students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP), who range from mild to moderate cases of other health impaired.
