Dear MJT Families,

Thank you to all of you who came to parent-teacher conferences this week.  A positive home-school relationship is key in fostering educational success. 

It is my hope that you enjoyed hearing about the progress your student is making, getting the opportunity to ask questions, and visiting their learning space. 

If you missed your student’s conference, please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a phone conversation.

Dismissal plans:

If your child will be picked up early, or will be following a different dismissal plan than usual, please be sure to send in a note in the morning, or to give the main office a call prior to 12:00.  This ensures that all of the important information gets where it needs to go so that dismissal can go smoothly for your student.  

Tardiness:

Each grade level has the bulk of their core academic time in the morning here at school.  Please make every effort to ensure that your child is at school by 9:00.  Consistent or frequent tardiness can cause students to fall behind quickly.  Students will be marked tardy if they arrive after 9:00.  Likewise, frequently picking students up before the end of their scheduled day can cause them to miss academic or encore classes as well.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

Breanne Taylor

Principal, Mary J. Tanner
