Principal's Coffees

The principal’s coffees will be in the library from 9:30 to 10:30 AM  
on the following days: 10/19, 11/16, 1/18, 2/15, 3/14, 4/18, and 5/16.

WAHS Meeting for 8th Grade Parents

I know we are still getting into the swing of things, but I wanted to  
make you all aware of information for our transition planning for the  
current 8th grade students.  WAHS will be holding its Parent  
Information Evening to discuss the registration process on January  
23, 2008 at 7:00pm.  In the event of inclement weather, the program  
will be postponed to January 30.  Please put this date on your  
calendars; as the date approaches, we will be in touch with  
additional information.
Thanks!

School Climate Bullying Survey

On October 12th, all Henley students will take a School Climate  
Bullying Survey constructed by UVA's Youth Violence Prevention  
Project.  Results from the survey combined with Henley's Olweus  
Bullying Prevention Program provide key information about our school  
community.  Students and parents may opt out of this survey by  
contacting their child's school counselor; however, the information  
gathered is helpful in identifying potential concerns.  If you would  
like to see a copy of this survey, please stop by the Henley Office  
anytime during the week of October 8th.
Sincerely,
Patrick J. McLaughlin, Ed. D.
Principal

Bake Sale

On Wednesday, October 10th, during parent conferences, 8th grade  
students are having a Bake Sale to benefit the Alexandra Douglas  
Summers Scholarship Fund. Alex was an 8th grader at Henley last year,  
who died last month. We hope to raise $1000 towards this fund. Please  
come ready to support the scholarship fund, and go home with some  
great treats.

People not coming to conferences may also stop in after work to  
purchase baked goods - we'll be ready by 4PM.

Thank you,    Margie Shepherd/ Dexter Jackson
