REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Please remember that in an effort to secure our students' learning environment, we will NOT interrupt classes to deliver forgotten items to students (ie. assignments, projects, signed papers, lunch money). Students may stop by the office during class change to retrieve items; however, they must know to do so without a call from the front office. If lunch money is brought to the school, it will be delivered to the cafeteria and deposited directly into the students account (the student will NOT be notified by the office).

Thank you for helping us to maximize learning time.

 

 

T-shirts that reflect the Horn HS cluster theme will be available at Terry soon. Watch the marquee for details.

CAMPUS VISITORS . . .

All visitors to Terry Middle School (parents, guardians, volunteers, contractors, etc.) will now be required to present a valid state issued ID in the office.  The ID number will be entered into the new V-Soft computer system.  V-Soft helps track visitors, students, faculty, contractors and volunteers at our school, thus providing a safer, more monitored environment for the students. 

V-Soft also has the capability to provide alerts on people who may jeopardize the safety of the campus.

We at Terry feel certain that this will help keep our campus a little safer, and ask for your cooperation in presenting a valid state ID when checking in at the school.  Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

LUNCH MONEY & FORGOTTEN ITEMS . . .

Please make sure your child has all items needed for the day prior to coming to school each morning. Due to the high amount of class disturbances, we will no longer be able to deliver phone messages, lunch money, lunches, or any other type of deliveries.  If lunch money is brought to the school, it will be delivered to the cafeteria and deposited directly into your child's account (the child will NOT be notified). Our goal is to protect the learning environment, so we will be unable to deliver forgotten items to students during the instructional day. Children are welcome to stop by the office to look for forgotten items; however, the office staff will no longer call students to the office for these things. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in ensuring high quality instructional time.

 

 

PLEASE do not drop off or pick up at the church parking lot located

next to the school.
