Principal's Memo
November 13-17, 2023
A Message from Dr. Harris
Henderson Family!
As we approach the mid point in Quarter 2, this is a good point at which to check in on your child's performance in school. Please check Parent Portal for missing assignments. Missing Assignments count as a zero in the gradebook and can cause a major drop in your child's grade.
We are inviting our family members who are Veterans to come out and have lunch with us on Monday, November 13 during your child's lunch. The cost for lunch is $4.50. Please bring your driver's license with you for check in.
