Principals Corner

Dear Henry Family,
It is my hope this newsletter finds you well. February is an action-packed month for our Gila Monster community. Classroom teachers are looking forward to sitting down with families on February 8 & 9 for parent teacher conferences to share student progress. Teachers will arrange a time to meet with you. Students will have Extra Early Dismissal both days at 11:00 a.m. Please make arrangements for transportation now.
Monday, February 5, starts National School Counseling Week. School counselors are an integral part to a student’s school experience. They offer a variety of supports for students individually and collectively to create a school climate that leads to healthy learning, living, and personal growth. Our Anna Henry school counselor is Ms. Eman, and we would like to say thank you to her this week.
This month we also have a Kindergarten Round-up event scheduled on Tuesday, February 20, at 3:30 p.m. for incoming Kindergarten students for the 2024-2025 school year. This will take place in our school library. Please attend if you have a student that is ready for kindergarten. We kindly ask that you also pass this information along to any family members or neighbors that would benefit from this knowledge. Additionally, Spring pictures are also happening on Tuesday, February 20, for all students.
Our annual Henry Rodeo Breakfast is all set for students the morning of Wednesday, February 21. During this time, all students will be served pancakes, sausage, and juice by our team of educators. Breakfast is for students only during this event. We are very grateful for our Henry PTA and Henry Team to make this event possible. Also, come out to Skate Country this same night 2/21 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. to enjoy a night of skating.
Love of Reading Week is just around the corner for our Gila Monsters, as this runs February 26- March 1, 2024. Our team has many awesome activities planned for students during this week. We greatly appreciate the Love of Reading Committee for their hard work, as we look forward to celebrating this month.
There is NO SCHOOL for students during Rodeo Break which is coming up on February 22-23, 2022. All classes resume on Monday, February 26.
Respectfully,
Thomas Heminger, principal
Astronomy Night at Henry Elementary
March 7, 2024, 7:00-8:30 PM on field & in library.
We apologize that we have had to cancel astronomy night the past two times we have scheduled it. We are looking forward to having the event in March and hopefully third time is a charm.
Please join us for our Science Curriculum Night featuring Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (TAAA)! TAAA will have telescopes available for students to view specific stars, constellations, planets, etc. on the back field. Students and families may find a space on the field to star gaze independently as well.
Families will be provided informational handouts and activity materials to support astronomy learning and STEM skills. Refreshments provided.
Please bring a flashlight, if possible.
RSVP the number of people who will be attending.
