Henry Happenings

I hope you enjoyed the great weather this weekend! Please see the updated information below about the rescheduled PTO meeting on Tuesday, May 21. We hope to see you there!

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.

Keep reading below to learn more about lost and found, field day lunch, extra yearbooks, and more!

Go Bulldogs!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jodi Oliver

Please see the linked pictures to look at our lost and found. Please encourage your child to retrieve items that you/they might see that belong to them. All items not picked up by the last day of school will be donated. Click here to see the pictures.

Yearbooks will be distributed to students on the last day of school, and there will be a grade-level yearbook signing during their specials time. There will be a signature package for the students who did not order a yearbook, but we do have some extra yearbooks for sale to students who did not order one in February.

Students may bring $20 cash or a check (made out to Henry PTO) to purchase a yearbook, on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have a child leaving early before the end of the school year, please notify your child's teacher so that the yearbook gets home with your child before the last day of school.

Please note for Field Day on May 29th, sack lunch will be the only option for purchase. The lunch will include turkey and cheese sandwiches, chips, fruit and fruit juice.

Field Day is May 29th. Please volunteer if you can. Check out the opportunities here and sign up today.

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 8:45-3:45 PM. There are a few spaces with half day options. There will be time for a break/snacks will be provided.

To volunteer at Field Day, any individual that signs up would need to be registered as a Parkway volunteer first. To start your volunteer sign up, follow this link. Questions? Email dcurran@parkwayschools.net or kpettus@parkwayschools.net.

The end of the school year is just around the corner. If your child has medication at school, please make plans to pick it up in the nurse's office any time before May 30th during normal school hours. Please contact the nurse's office if you need to arrange another time. Parkway policy does not allow us to send medication home with students. Medication not picked up by the end of the year will be discarded.
