LSC Elections

Please see the attached information below about upcoming LSC elections. The school building will be open on November 18th from 7am to 7pm to accommodate the voting options for various stakeholders below. Parent and Staff will receive a prepaid return envelope should they choose to mail in their vote. Staff and Parents may also drop off the ballot at school at any time once it is completed in our secure drop box or vote in-person.

Community Members Voting: In-Person

Parent Voting: Mail-In, Drop-Off, or In-Person

Staff: Mail-In, Drop-Off, or In-Person

While we will begin the second quarter learning at home, our goal is to reopen school buildings for pre-k and students enrolled in moderate and intensive cluster programs later in the second quarter.

The availability of safe, in-person instruction for our most vulnerable students is an issue of equity, and that means we must address the challenges of COVID-19 head-on and provide our highest-need students with a safe and supportive learning environment. Read the full letter from the district to understand what this means for your family.

Please click on the CPS Reopening Plan here for further information.

Please complete the intent form (which will be emailed) by October 28 if you have a child in pre-k at Henry.

Hello Henry Families,

Hello Henry Families,

October is Bullying Awareness Month. To help commemorate this, I wanted to share some resources to use if your child is being bullied or to help them be an upstander and stand up to bullying:

For education:

https://www.pacer.org/bullying/resources/
A great resource for parents to learn about bullying signs and ways they can help prevent or help their child if they are being bullied. This website also looks at each type of bullying individually.

kidsagainstbullying.org
A creative, innovative and educational website designed for elementary school students to learn about bullying prevention, engage in activities and be inspired to take action.

TeensAgainstBullying.org
Created by and for teens, this website is a place for middle and high school students to find ways to address bullying, to take action, to be heard, and to own an important social cause

For standing up against bullying:
https://www.girlshealth.gov/bullying/school/index.html
This website will help you stand up against bullying and be an upstander.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LNwrd0fHg
About one in five teens reports being bullied, which is harmful but preventable. Anyone can stand up and speak out and be someone’s hero by safely intervening to stop bullying.

As a reminder, I want to make sure this information is meeting your needs, so please complete this survey as soon as you can:

Have a great week,
