Breakfast/Lunch: If you have any unpaid overages, these can be found at MySchoolBucks.com or you can contact Katie Mayes at katie.mays@henderson.kyschools.us for more information.
Books: Your student can check lost books from the school Librarian, Mrs. Buley-Coomes. Their reading/language arts teacher should announce any overdue books each week, so students should be aware of the lost book.

Science: Each year, science classes collect a $5 fee to help pay for class experiments. To double check if you have paid, contact your student's science teacher.

Online Registration for 2018-2019 School Year
All students planning to attend any Henderson County School from Thelma B. Johnson Preschool to High School must have an online registration completed by the primary parent/guardian. We encourage all primary parents/guardians to complete registration before MAY 17, 2018 to assist with classroom and class assignments
The primary parent/guardian of CURRENTLY enrolled students must log into their Infinite Campus Parent Portal account to complete online registration for all the students in the household, including a Thelma B Johnson preschooler, kindergartner or new to the household student.
Middle School families with school provided Chromebooks can use that device for online registration with the student’s log on information.
Any primary parent/guardian of a student NEW to Henderson County schools, meaning the primary parent/guardian does not have an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account set up, must go to the local school to
complete registration and provide required new student forms.
There is more information available in the STUDENT REGISTRATION link found in the Quick Links box on any school’s web page.
