Welcome to October!

We are excited to dive into a new month full of learning opportunities and fun events. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and dedication to supporting your child's education. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements and important dates this month. As always, we are here to work together for the success of our students!

In Partnership,

Dr. T. Barkley

Henry County Schools recognized all teachers who received this elite teacher of the year distinction. We are honored to have Ms. Jefferson represent Luella Elementary.

Student Ambassadors😊

We are proud to share that our LES Student Ambassadors had the honor of greeting our new superintendent during his visit to Luella Elementary. They gave him a personal tour of our school and proudly shared the story of our vibrant school community. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase all the amazing things happening at Luella!

One of our core beliefs is that family and community involvement is critical to student success! In an effort to bring classroom resources to your living room, we have developed the HenryConnects Family View. This a one-stop shop developed to strengthen the partnership between home and school. It connects families to school information, tools, and instructional resources specifically tailored to your child's courses.

An Infinite Campus Parent Portal account is required to access HenryConnects Family View. Don’t have a Parent Portal account? Click HERE to get started.

Parents/Guardians,

We are noticing that students with high meal balances are receiving alternate meals. Please complete the meal application to see if you qualify for free or reduced meals.

Thank you.

Student Lunch Balances

Parents may use the LINQ Connect mobile app or log on to linqconnect.com ( https://linqconnect.com/main ) to see what their child(ren) balance is. The best practice is to check weekly, as meals can accrue quickly after one week of eating breakfast and lunch.
