The Mission of Albert Payson Terhune Elementary School is to foster academic excellence by promoting learning and creativity in a safe and child-centered environment through a partnership of family, staff, and the community.  Our goal is to create independent thinkers and social problem solvers who are respectful of themselves and others.

 


 

 Highly Qualified Teacher Status

The federal law, called No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requires teachers to be “highly qualified” in the subjects they teach.  As parents you have the right to inquire about the qualifications and the “HQT” status of your child’s teacher.  At Albert Payson Terhune Elementary School every classroom has a “Highly Qualified Teacher” who is dedicated to the success of each child.  I encourage you to continue to support your child’s education and communicate with his or her teacher on a regular basis.  By partnering with your child’s teacher, together we can provide your child with the best education possible.

Sincerely,

Marion R. McGrath, Principal

Albert Payson Terhune’s Alma Mater

Music by: Patricia Merlucci

Lyrics by: Susan Enderly-Peracchio

Through the years, we stand united

Through the years, we stand with pride

Achievements of the highest sort

Education is our guide…

And with the faithfulness of our collie-dog

We can touch the stars and moon

Let us sing and praise our school’s name

ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE

Through the years, we stand united

Through the years, we stand with pride

Achievement of the highest sort

Education is our guide…

And with teamwork and with respect

We remember old and new

Remember your Alma Mater

ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE

Remember your Alma Mater

ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE
