Principal's Memo
October 2-6, 2023
A Message from Dr. Harris
Henderson Family,
The end of the 1st Quarter is here. Students will get their Fall Break next week, October 9-13, 2023. I am excited about our PBIS celebration that is coming up on Friday, October 6. To qualify, students cannot have any discipline referrals, no more than 2 Steps, and no missing assignments. My goal is to help students self regulate and become more responsible as they maneuver the middle school years. I need your support for all 3 years of this work. Please ensure that you have Parent Portal so that you can keep up with your child's grades and attendance to classes in real time.
Picture Day is this Friday as well.
Dr. Suzan Harris

The Tigers finished the season with a 4-3 record after starting 0-2 and then winning 4 in a row before falling to Monroe County. The future looks bright for the Tigers as Coach Brannock says there will be a lot of returning players next year with game time experience.
