Principal Message
Dear Henry Families,
We are looking forward to our upcoming Fall conferences on November 10th and November 15th. The teachers will share strategies, updates from formal and informal assessments, and other observations about your child and his/her progress. Student involved conferences (or participation) are highly encouraged. Our goal is for 100% of families to participate in conferences.
In order to make signing up for a conference more convenient, we are combining all of the conference sign-up links into this form for easy access and planning. Please sign up by Wednesday, November 3rd.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jodi Oliver
Principal
Henry Elementary

A Note From Nurse Lisa
Henry is hosting the VNA (Visiting Nurse Association) to administer flu shots to students on Tuesday, October 18th from 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Please see the information linked below regarding what insurances are accepted and read carefully through the consent form. Complete all information and remember to attach a copy of your insurance card (or a check) to the form. Consent forms need to be returned by Wednesday, October 12th.
We are not providing flu shots to parents this year. If you would like to be present when your child receives a flu shot, please contact our School Nurse, Mrs. Lisa Munch, at lmunch@parkwayschools.net to let her know, and she will do her best to accommodate you. Also, please email Mrs. Munch if you need printed copies of the forms sent home with your child.
