Principal Message
Dear Henry Families,
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who made our fall parties so special on Friday. In being the first time we've had parties in a couple of years, it made it even sweeter to see everyone together. Thanks so much for helping to provide these experiences for our Henry students!
Please remember to sign up for conferences on this form by Wednesday, November 3rd.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jodi Oliver
Principal
Henry Elementary

Quick Updates
- Please ensure your child is arriving at school before 9:05 AM. We quickly begin our day by starting our video announcements and teachers then take attendance. It is important for your child to be part of these regular morning routines.
Picture Retake Updates
Absentee/Retake Picture Day is Wednesday, November 9th. Wagner Portrait Group will be at school to photograph any students who were absent on the initial picture day or any student that needs his/her picture retaken.
If you are having a picture taken as a RETAKE, please make sure your student returns their package in its entirety, including the package insert sheet, to the photographer on retake day. (Feel free to attach a note to describe what you’d like Wagner to do differently.)
For Absentee Students, click HERE to order. Online Pre-Order Password: 2A7Z2X6R. Can’t order online or have other questions? Wagner is happy to help! Call 314-567-5900 or 1-800-444-7986 for more information.
Schoolwide PTO Meeting This Week-11/3 @ 7pm in the Henry Library!
A Message from PTO...
Book Fair is Back!
The Scholastic Book Fair returns to Henry starting November 10th during parent/ teacher conference night. Henry students will hear about the exciting new books Scholastic has to offer when they preview the book fair during their library time. Check your student's backpack for the Scholastic Book Fair Flyer or view the digital version below.
We also have opportunities to volunteer during the book fair; assisting students with their wish lists or during student shopping time. Please see the sign up link for available time slots: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A094BA4AB29A6FC1-book7
