Dear Terraset Families,
We are so excited for a full week of school this week! However, as you know, next week we will observe Thanksgiving Break and there will be no school Wednesday, 11/27- Friday, 11/29. As we approach the thanksgiving holiday, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each member of our school community. This time of year reminds us of the importance of connection, support, and shared purpose, all of which thrive here at Terraset Elementary School.
One way we demonstrate our shared purpose, is through partnering on student attendance. Our current chronic absenteeism rate is 8.5%, way to go Tiger Families! Our goal is to stay below 10% all year. Please note that this also means limiting the number of tardies and early dismissals for our students. Every day that we partner together to keep chronic absenteeism down, we provide all Tigers with the environment to succeed.
Warmly,
Katie Aldridge, Principal
Dave Ickowski, Assistant Principal
