Traffic Control at Henking - Please Read -
In order to maintain safety, I am resending our arrival and dismissal procedures. Please take note of the items that have been highlighted. Some families have commented that there are cars that are “cutting” the line that forms on Linneman from Huber. In order to avoid conflict, we ask that you PLEASE do not attempt to enter the Linneman line at the four-way stop (Huber/Crowley) and instead proceed to the back of the line.
We are also receiving complaints from our Henking families that cars are speeding down Huber Lane, creating an unsafe situation for all, but especially for those who walk to school. Please abide by the 20 mph signs.
Additionally, please have your child ready to disembark so as not to disrupt the flow at arrival. Supervisors will support by opening the door if needed. A big THANK YOU to our supervisors who continue to make sure that our students enter the buildings quickly and safely on a daily basis!
Thank you for your support!
Patty Puetz
Please review and reinforce our bus behavior expectations below with your children, thank you!

Fall/Halloween Classroom Parties
Please email the principal, Patty Puetz at ppuetz@glenview34.org if you would like your child involved in an alternative activity during the classroom party.
Fall/Halloween
Halloween is quickly approaching! This year we will celebrate with fabulous Fall/Halloween classroom parties. Our wonderful PTA will provide a nut-free snack (orange sherbert) for all students. Our Room Parents will plan exciting fall-themed activities for each classroom. We will not have a parade as students will show off their costumes to each other throughout the day! Please note if your child is not wearing a costume, they can wear their Henking Spirit Wear!
While dressing up and celebrating the holiday provide opportunities for fun and community building, they can also create stressful situations for students. In order to be sensitive to all please know that COSTUMES ARE OPTIONAL. Our goal is to create a positive learning environment where all students, staff, and families feel a sense of belonging. In that spirit, we ask that you take care to ensure that your child’s costume choice does not portray a stereotypical image of any group of people or culture, or be offensive to any one racial, ethnic or religious group. We appreciate you being proactive with your child in making thoughtful costume choices.
Other costume reminders:
Masks are NOT allowed for safety reasons.
Props should be limited to no more than one.
Please note that toy weapons are NOT allowed.
Remember that violent or bloody costumes are not allowed.
