🎮 Game On: Every Day Counts!

Attendance is one of the biggest factors in student success, and we need your help to keep our students in the game! Terry's current average daily attendance is 92%, and our goal is 95%. Every day a student misses class means lost instruction, missed opportunities, and a harder path to academic success.

To be counted present for the day, students must attend at least 4 of their 7 class periods. In addition, attendance during 2nd period is especially important, as it is used for state funding purposes that directly support our campus and students.

If your child is absent, please be sure to submit a parent note or doctor's note as soon as possible. Timely documentation helps us maintain accurate records and provide the support students need.

Let's work together to keep Terry students in the game, in class, and on track for success. 

Game On: No Limits. No Pause. Be Here. Learn Here. Succeed Here. 🏆📚
