Principals Corner
Dear Henry Families,
I would like to give a huge thank you to all our Henry parents and guardians that have registered their students for the 24-25 academic school year in Parent Vue. Our school has many events happening this month in the building and in the community. Henry students are hard at work in the 4th quarter of our school year. Grade level teams are getting ready and rehearsing for upcoming spring OMA concerts. Our primary students are completing DIBELS assessments to examine their reading progress. Intermediate students are taking the Arizona Academic Standards Assessments in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. These assessment dates are specific to their grade levels and will continue until the end of the month. We greatly appreciate all families getting students to school on time for their respective testing days.
Our Character Strong trait this month is Courage. Courage at Henry means all students choose what is helpful, right, and kind- even when it’s hard or scary. Students are also putting in their effort to model our Anna Henry 4 B’s- Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Kind. Please be sure to ask your student about their learning on the topic of courage this month.
On a safety note, we are asking all families to be aware of the busy morning drop-off time when students are exiting vehicles, families are in the crosswalk areas, and students are entering campus. Please drive slowly in our drive-through drop-off locations and watch for pedestrians.
The last day of school in our 4th quarter is Thursday, May 23. On this day, fifth grade students will have their promotion ceremony at 8:30 a.m. in the morning, and students are permitted to sign-out with their family following this event.
We are immensely proud of our students and team for their hard work this quarter. Have enjoyable month of April.
Respectfully,
Principal, Thomas Heminger

Book Fair and Community BBQ
Our second annual bookfair is coming April 29-May 4. This is our BOGO fair, and it always does well, we will need lots of support running the registers and helping kids find books and manage their monies. We will set up the fair on Friday April 26th after school. We will close the fair on May 4th after our Community BBQ (from 11am to 1PM).
We need help at each event. Below are two links to sign up to volunteer. The first is the Bookfair volunteer sign up link. The second link is to volunteer for the Community BBQ.
