This is a Great time to meet the PTSA officers,committee chairs, principal, and other volunteers. Learn where the copier is located, how to find PTSA supplies, and how to properly sign-in at school. Coffee and pastries will be served. We are looking forward to a fun-filled year at HMS, and need YOU to make things happen.
Leaving Henderson?
If you have student who will not be returning to Henderson (excluding 8th graders headed to Lakeside), please be sure to stop by HMS and withdraw your student on the last day of school. The school cannot send student records to another school if the withdrawal process has not been completed. This will also allow the school to more accurately project enrollment and complete a master schedule for the fall.
HMS Weekly Update - Sign Up or Unsubscribe
We hope that you find the HMS Weekly Update to be informative, and we encourage you to share sign up information with families within the HMS feeder pattern. If you know families with rising 5th or 6th grade students from Briarlake, Evansdale, Hawthorne, Henderson Mill, Oak Grove, Pleasantdale, or Sagamore, please forward this email to them and encourage them to sign up for our weekly updates using the Join Our Mailing List button in the green column to the side of this update. That way, Sneak Peek information will get to the incoming 6th grade families over the summer and they, along with rising 5th grade families, will get a "flavor" all year long of what's going on at Henderson.
If your family is leaving Henderson and you no longer wish to receive the Weekly Update, please click on the SafeUnsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
