Dear School Families,

This week was a sure reminder that the winter weather is quickly approaching!  When there is snow on the ground, classes will still go outside often. 

Winter Gear Reminder: Please be sure to send your student with boots, warm jacket, hat, and mittens daily. Please label your student’s name in all of their belongings, as hats and mittens tend to go missing fast! If you need help obtaining any of these items, please contact myself or Nurse Blais.

Report Cards: Your student’ first report card will be coming home in their folders today.  Please take some time to go over this information.  Their teacher is looking forward to going over it with you at next week’s parent teacher conference.  

Parent-Teacher Conference Days: November 20 and 21 will be our parent-teacher conference days.  If you need to bring your child with you to the conference, we will have staff in the cafeteria and the students are welcome to stay there.  We do ask that you not bring your child to the classroom for their conference.  These will be half-days for students. 

Wishing you a good weekend,

Mrs. Taylor
Principal, Mary J. Tanner School

Second grade students take turns breaking up into small groups to work closely with their teacher on new math concepts. 

This time of year is a great time to establish afternoon and evening routines with your students.  

Please be mindful of how much “screen time” students are having at home (television, tablets, computers). 

Excessive screen time directly links to concerns with attention, behavior, and proper sleep patterns. 

Here are a few ideas to help structure your student's evenings in a way that promotes that ability to gain some independence with self-care skills
