Dear MJT Families,

This has been a fun and busy week at MJT.

With the holiday musical and door decorating contest, it's been fun to see school families visit our building and our teachers showcase their creativity.

To see some of the lovely door decorations, here is the link to the Facebook Page post (a few are below as well).

If you missed the Beary Merry Musical or would like to view it again, here are the links to our replays:

Here is the replay to the morning show, and starts at 9 minutes in.

Here is the replay to the afternoon show, and starts about 13 minutes in.

A big thank you goes to Music Teacher, Mr. Tuttle for all his work in leading our students in the music!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday recess,

Breanne Taylor

Principal, Mary J. Tanner

Dismissal Plans

If your child will need 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.  

***Pack a Snack***

Please pack a filling afternoon snack for your children, thank you! Click this link for some helpful tips about when kids should snack and simple snack ideas.

Why Being on Time Matters

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, and it makes it hard for them to learn reading, math and make friends.  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 fall behind and feel discouraged as well.

***Winter Weather and Recess***

Please be sure your child is prepared for outdoor recess by bringing appropriate outerwear like boots, hats, gloves and snow pants or extra pants. If providing winter clothing presents a challenge, please reach out to the school for support—we are happy to assist with any needs.
