Thanksgiving Break - No School
Attendance - Families we are thankful!
As we prepare to take a short break from school for Thanksgiving, we want to express our gratitude for everyone who makes it possible for as many students as possible to come to school every day, on time, ready to learn.
We thank:
· Our students and families for making daily attendance a priority since they know the habit of attendance will help them do well in the classroom and eventually in a job.
· Our wonderful teachers who pour their energy into making each classroom an exciting place for exploration and knowledge so children do not want to miss out on learning
· Our support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need
We appreciate each one of you so much. We look forward to seeing you after the Thanksgiving holiday. We also hope you will keep in mind that school is closed on Wednesday November 21, 2018 and reopens Monday November 26, 2018.
We especially appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra days off during the Thanksgiving holiday. Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and leave your child behind in school.
This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school.

Alive at 25
Alive at 25 - Empower your teen with confidence to handle the open road and return home safe! Tragically, the number one killer of teens is motor vehicle crashes. That is why the Kentucky State Police (KSP), Toyota and the National Safety Council (KSC) are joining forces with the high schools and local businesses across Kentucky to ensure that novice drivers survive their most dangerous driving years. Alive at 25 is a 4½-hour driver's awareness course designed by the National Safety Council for young drivers ages 16-24, which includes:
Defensive driving classroom curriculum
Gain awareness and develop strategies to keep safe on the road.
Decision-making and responsibility-taking
Learn through interactive media, workbook exercises, role-playing, and class discussions.
Henderson County High School will offer Alive at 25 on November 27, 2018 from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Take time to grab a snack before you come. It will last the whole 4 hours.
This class counts as your graduated license class required by the state of Kentucky.
To participate in this class you do need a driver’s permit.
