Tanner Elementary
December/January in Review
A Message From Our Principal, Billy Owens
As we finish more than half of our school year I want to encourage parents to monitor your child’s attendance, grades and discipline. You can do that online by using information (username/password) provided by our school. Our staff is committed to improve our overall attendance for this school year but we can only be successful with the support of our parents/guardians. I remind every parent/guardian to send a note in writing when your child is absent from school. This will avoid any truancy issues and will also allow students to make up all test/work that they may have missed while being absent. We value the partnership we have with our parents/guardians and look forward to working with you for the remainder of 2016-2017 school year.
