Happy November, Hornets! We’ve certainly gotten off to a great start at Henley this year. I hope that you and your children had a great Halloween weekend, that your kids enjoyed their days off on November 1 and November 2, and that everyone is coming back to school this month ready to have tremendous success in our second marking period!
We have been quite busy during the first marking period at Henley, and it makes me so incredibly proud to be the Henley principal when I think of all of the great things our faculty and our students have done so far this year. We had a successful magazine drive fundraiser, the Henley parks and recreation basketball teams are all having great years, our teachers have been developing highly engaging lessons for all of their classes, back-to-school night and our parent conference nights gave us all a chance to make connections and build relationships with parents, kids had a ball at both our Halloween dance and our back-to-school dance, and many other wonderful events have been taking place here at Henley. A great way to stay on top of all of the positive Henley happenings is to follow us on Twitter (@henleyhornets). I try my best to keep the page updated with both school-wide events that are taking place and some tweets about the incredible work that is going on in some of our individual classrooms.
I’m hoping that as report cards make it home in the next few days that all of you will be happy with the progress that your child has made to date at Henley. If you have some concerns, however, now is the time to address them. If you feel that you need to set up a conference to discuss an issue with one or more of your child’s teachers, please contact our guidance department and Mrs. Childers will be happy to make an appointment for you. Both Jason Crutchfield, our assistant principal, and I are also happy to talk at any time if we can be of help in any way.
I can’t wait to see what the second marking period will bring for our students at Henley! As we head into the holiday season, I like to give thanks every day that I’ve been given the opportunity to be the principal of such an incredible school that is filled with amazing students and the best group of teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Keep up the great work, Hornets! It’s going to continue to be a year that will be one to remember!
Go Hornets!
