I would like to report that the school ratings for the 17-18 school year were made available this past Friday. I am very pleased to report that Patrick Henry School continues to be a Level 1 school!  As we continue to transform our teaching and learning at Patrick Henry through Personalized Learning, we can achieve our goals while pushing ourselves to collaborate and work even closer together to be a Level 1 plus school in the near future.
Next week Tuesday, October 31st, students will be allowed to wear Halloween costumes with parent approval.  However, it is important to remember the following: 1.  No face paint.  2.  No masks 3.  No toy weapons of any kind.
If your child would like to bring a treat to share, the candy has to be store-bought.  We can only have 2 events where non-nutritional store-bought items can be distributed to students  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the office.
