The Rochester boy skipped school Friday to attend Obama's visit to a Honeywell factory in Golden Valley with his dad.
"I had a chance to shake his hand. The President said, 'You must be missing school,'" Tyler told local station KARE.
When Tyler admitted to ditching, Obama pulled out a golden slip of his official stationary — stamped with his presidential seal — and scrawled the missive with a felt-tipped black pen.
News footage of the meet-up showed Tyler in a checkered hoodie beaming from behind a barricade while Obama jotted down the excuse.
"Pretty cool. And it's like, oh, I'm famous! It's really cool," Tyler told ABC's "Good Morning America," while showing off the now-framed note.
He said he'll show it to Mr. Ackerman on Monday.
