Henry Happenings
April 22nd, 2024
Principal Message
For families with students in grades 3-5, please be aware MAP testing is coming up in a few short weeks. Please try to avoid appointments, early release, and trips during the following time periods so your child can avoid any make up testing. You will receive more in-depth information about testing coming soon!
May 6-10 - 3rd and 4th Grade
May 13-16 - 5th Grade
Also, as we plan ahead for next year, if you have a child that will be entering Kindergarten in 2024-2025 please register as soon as possible. It is imperative that we know how many students will be in our entering Kindergarten class so we can prepare with the correct number of staff. If you have questions about Kindergarten registration please click here for more information.

Go Bulldogs!
Sincerely,
Dr. Jodi Oliver

Henry Field Day Fast Approaching, Volunteers Sought!
Henry Field Day is fast approaching! Volunteers are needed to help on May 29th from 8:45 until 3:45 PM with the activities.
Each activity has two volunteer slots that need to be filled. Please be aware, in most instances volunteering would be for the whole event day from 8:45 until 3:45 PM. There are a few spaces with half day options. There will be time for a break and snacks will be provided. Sign up to volunteer here!
To volunteer at Field Day, any individual that signs up would need to be registered as a Parkway volunteer first. To learn more about the volunteer process, click here. To start your volunteer sign up, follow this link.
If you have any questions, please reach out to dcurran@parkwayschools.net or kpettus@parkwayschools.net.
Notes from Nurse Munch
Spring allergy season is underway. If you would like your child to have allergy medication on hand in the nurse's office, it needs to be brought into school in the original container with a signed Medication Authorization Form, which can be found here.
Make sure to check out the April Nurse Newsletter! Topics include:
- Anxiety in Children
- April is Autism Acceptance Month
- Missouri Immunization Requirements
- Move More, Sit Less
- Tips to Help the Whole Family Eat Healthier
