Dear Eli Terry Families,

Thank you for continuing to prioritize coming to school each day! To date, our schoolwide attendance average is 96.34%, which shows a strong commitment from our students and families. Our chronic absenteeism rate has stayed below 10% this fall, currently at 6.15%, and has improved since September. We’re proud of this progress and want to keep the momentum going as winter approaches.

Every day matters—consistent attendance helps students stay connected to learning, build routines, and grow academically and socially. If your family needs support with attendance for any reason, please reach out to the office. We’re here to help!

Eli Terry School will be hosting a December Book Swap on Friday, December 19. A collection bin will be outside the main office for students to drop off books.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to share books they’ve enjoyed and pick out “new-to-them” books to bring home. Book swaps help build excitement for reading, encourage generosity, and keep great stories circulating throughout our school community.

All students will be able to participate in the book swap, even if they do not donate a book.

Ms. Audrey and our Student Ambassadors are excited to announce a Hygiene Drive to support members of our community who are in need. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference!

The PTO is excited to share that the Student Directory for this school year is now available! Access to the directory is available to our school community through the link below. Thank you for helping build a strong and supportive school network!

We will reopen the directory again in January for any changes or additions. Please reach out to the PTO if you have any questions or need assistance accessing the directory at sweliterrypto@gmail.com.
