Back to School Letter from Mrs.Melanie Philpot, Principal, Tyner Elementary

Dear Parents, Families, and Students of Tyner Elementary:

I am so excited to welcome students back to school for the 2024-2025 school year! We are anticipating an awesome year for our students and staff!! Our school is a place where all children can LEARN! I am enthusiastic about our upcoming school year and all the positive changes that have taken place over the summer. The Tyner family is eager to see your child learn, progress, and succeed! A goal for this school year is to have a safe, inviting LEARNING environment. This is a new year, with new beginnings and a fresh, new start on learning! We are thrilled to be a part of this new school year with you! We have worked very hard this summer to make our school a safe and effective environment in which successful teaching and learning can occur. Our expectations for Tyner this year are to be the BEST we can be in everything we do!

TES staff is very passionate about education and look forward to partnering with you to provide our students with the most successful learning year possible. As principal of Tyner Elementary, I want to continue a positive school culture and educational programs that are beneficial to student learning and development. Our district has adopted a brand new Science curriculum that we are very excited about. In conjunction with our new Reading, Math, and Social Studies curriculums previously, we have the newest and most up to date curriculums that are aligned with the Kentucky State Standards. We will seek to continue the high expectations at Tyner, student and faculty teamwork, cooperation in the school environment and excellent community involvement. Our highest priority is our students and their safety. We are a Kentucky Safe School and have continually passed our State Safety Audit, because we believe Tyner Elementary School students deserve the best!

Throughout the summer, we have made many positive climate changes in our building. Our custodians have worked VERY hard at getting the building ready for our upcoming school year! The floors are beautiful and your teachers have decorated some of the most inviting classrooms in the state. I'm excited about what all is going on inside Tyner!

If you haven't already done so, please check our Facebook page for school supply lists, important information for the upcoming year and don't forget to attend our "Open House," at Tyner Elementary on Tuesday, August 6[th] between 4:30-6:30. Enrollment packets can be picked up and dropped off at Tyner Elementary School.

This year is going to be Tyner's BEST year yet!!!

Go Cardinals!!!

Melanie Philpot
