Wow! We are starting our 4th week of school. Time seems to go very quickly once school begins. These next few weeks are very important because they could help determine how the rest of the year goes for you and your child. Hopefully, you and your child are having a marvelous start to the school year.

We are looking to start a volunteering program here at Henry to support our recess. Interested Volunteers would be able to commit 1-2 days a week each and every week during one of the time slots below.

There are two levels of Volunteers. Please sign up at www.cpsvolunteers.org Level 1: More than 10 hours a week. Photo ID, Fingerprints and TB Testing must be completed Level 2: Less than 10 hours a week. Photo ID If you are interested, please contact Assistant Principal Ms. Mary Ann Reynolds at mamunozmaciel@cps.edu. We are looking to start as soon as individuals are cleared within the CPS volunteer process. Again, we are looking for volunteers that can commit 1-2 days per week each week at the selected time. Thank you in advance for your support and consideration. Time Slots (you can pick more than one if you are available for a longer slot as some overlap): 10:45-11:30 PreK/Kindergarten/1st Grade 11:20-12:15 2nd/3rd/4th/5th Grades 12:30-1:15 6th/7th/8th Grades Thank you for supporting our Henry Hawks! ~Henry Administration September 4, 2019
Welcome Back! We are super excited to start another academic challenging, productive and safe school year. This year will be extra special year because we will be celebrating our first 8th grade graduation class in a very long time. At Patrick Henry School, it is our goal to maximize the learning potential of each and every child. We are refocusing our efforts to ensure we provide each child with a safe and nurturing environment where each child is on the right path to success in the future. We will be able to achieve our goals through the collective effort and support of all the students, parents, staff and our community members. School Hours - Our school hours for students are 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Universal Breakfast is served to students starting at 8:15 a.m. As a safety precaution, do not drop your child off before 8:00 a.m., as there is no one on duty to supervise children prior to that time. All students in k-8 must wear their school uniform each day. The school uniform consists of blue bottoms (pants, skirts or jumpers) and burgundy tops (shirts, blouses, or hoodie). Uniforms are to be worn every day! Visitors - All visitors are required to report to the main office and sign-in before visiting any classroom in both buildings. It’s a safety precaution to ensure all children are safe and secure at all times of the day. Attendance - Attendance is very important and we need your child present, on time, and ready to learn every day. If your child is absent make sure you send a written note the following day to his/her classroom teacher describing the reason for the absence. Please call the school if your child is going to be absent and provide written documentation in order to excuse the absence. The tardy bell is 8:20. All students coming into the school after 8:20 will be marked tardy. Middle School - Students in grades 5 thru 8 were provided with a parent and student handbook. Please review the handbook and return the signature page by August 6th? Supply lists - Please make sure your child brings their supplies to school this week. Please ask the homeroom teacher for a list if you have not received one or need another copy. School Fees - The school fee for this year will continue to be $30. The school fee is very minimal compared to other schools in Network 1. The school fee collected is used to pay for student incentives for our PBIS program, student celebrations, awards assemblies, student agendas, field trips and other events planned throughout the year. Money will be collected by classroom teachers only. No money will be accepted by the main office to avoid any confusion. Curriculum Night - Our ‘Curriculum Night’ will be held on Wednesday, September 18th, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teacher(s) and to learn about our academic and enrichment programs. Further information will be forthcoming before the event. We would like to thank all the parents and guardians for their continued support. Juan Gutierrez -Principal 4 de septiembre de 2019 ¡Bienvenidos! Horario Escolar - Nuestras horas de escuela para los estudiantes son de 8:15 am a 3:15 pm. El desayuno se sirve a los estudiantes a las 8:15 am. Como medida de seguridad, por favor no deje a su hijo antes de las 8:00 am, ya que no hay nadie supervisando a los niños antes de esa hora. Por favor, mande a sus hijos vestidos con el uniforme escolar que consiste en un pantalón o, falda o, jumpers azul y una camisa/polo blanca sin diseños. Los uniformes se deben usar todos los días. Asistencia - La asistencia es muy importante y necesitamos que su hijo esté presente, a tiempo, y listo para trabajar todos los días. Si su hijo está ausente asegúrese de enviar una nota por escrito al día siguiente a su maestro y describa el motivo de la ausencia. Por favor llame a la escuela si su hijo va a estar ausente. Necesitamos documentación escrita para excusar la ausencia. La campana final es a las 8:20 am. Todos los estudiantes que llegan a la escuela después de las 8:20 am serán marcados como tarde. Visitantes - Se requiere que todos los visitantes se reporten a la oficina principal y se registren. Es una medida de seguridad para asegurar que todos los niños estén seguros en todo momento del día. El dinero será recaudado solo por los maestros del salón de clase. La oficina no aceptará dinero. Listas de útiles y Cuotas - La cuota de la escuela para este año será de $30. Le enviaremos otra carta con instrucciones en cómo pagar la cuota a la escuela. Todos los materiales enviados a casa esta semana contienen información valiosa que le ayudará a comprender todas las normas y procedimientos para el nuevo año escolar. Noche de Currículo - Me gustaría invitar a todas nuestras familias a nuestra ‘Noche de Currículo’ el martes, 19 de septiembre de 2017. Será de 5:00-7:00 pm. Esta es una gran oportunidad de conocer al maestro de su hijo y aprender acerca de nuestros programas académicos y de enriquecimiento. Nos gustaría agradecer a todos los padres y tutores por su continuo apoyo. Esperamos continuar este trabajo positivo para seguir esforzándonos para que La Escuela Patrick Henry sea una de las mejores escuelas de la ciudad de Chicago. Atentamente, Juan Gutiérrez - Director |
