From the Principal's Desk...
Good Afternoon!
The Flat Family News this week has important information, including:
- Free & Reduced Lunch: Application Information
- Grandparents Day: We have a Drop-In activity on Wednesday from 7:45 - 8:30 for our grandparents :)
- HFE Science Fair: details regarding registration
- and sweet pictures of some of Wildcats and families :)
We have 5 more school days before Fall Break! Let's make this a great week, together!!
We were fortunate that we have been able to provide meals at no cost to all students for the past few years; however, that federal waiver has ended. If you have previously qualified for free or reduced status or believe you may be eligible, we encourage you to complete a Free and Reduced Meal application as soon as possible ensure your benefits continue throughout the 2022-2023 school year.
Completing the application only takes a few minutes, yet the possible benefits for you your family are many. Qualifying families may be eligible for discounted fees for standard tests, as well as college scholarship opportunities.
The Free and Reduced Lunch Application can be completed online from the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus.
If you have questions regarding the school meal application process, please contact Erica Banon by email at erica.banon@henry.k12.ga.us.
Attendance Celebrations for August
Our August Perfect Attendance prize was either a Smencil
(a very cool pencil that smells delicious) or a 6-color pen!
A different prize will be awarded each month!
To be eligible for monthly prizes, students will need to attend school each day and have no tardy check-ins or early check-outs within that month.
We love our Grandparents! Join us for a Drop-In event this Wednesday!
All Smiles in the Wildcat Cafe This Week!
