Welcome to October, Hornets! It’s been a great start to the year and we’ve
been busy. In the few short weeks since
school began, we’ve had our sixth grade social, our back-to-school dance, SCA
elections, our first activity period, back-to-school night, and the United Way
Day of Caring. Whew!
Things don’t really slow down for us much this month and
we’re getting far enough along into the school year that a good academic
picture is starting to unfold for each of our students. I know that many of you have been checking
ParentPortal pretty regularly and are really staying on top of academics. We’ll be sending home interim reports on
Tuesday, October 2 as one more check about your child’s progress to date. We try to time our interim reports to
coincide with our parent conference nights, and we hope that you will join us
on either October 3 or October 11 to meet with your child’s teachers.
In addition to conferences, this month we’ll have the end
of our magazine drive, the Hornet Hustle on October 16, our fall band concert,
an activity period on the 19th, the end of the marking period and
our Halloween Dance on the 25, a teacher workday on the 26 and our Halloween
costume contest on the 31st.
Another busy month for us!
The start of our year has been outstanding. It’s been great to get to know all of our new
students and to reconnect with those returning to us. Henley is a special place
to come to school both as a student and as a staff member. Our kids and our teachers amaze me each day
with their dedication. I can’t wait to
see what the rest of the year has in store!
