SERVICE PROVIDERS MEET & GREET @ 5:30 P.M.
PRESENTATION BEGINS @ 6:00 P.M.
Covid had many effects on our everyday lives and one effect was the collapse of our PTA. We are looking to bring back the Parent, Teacher, Student organization that helps improve the education, health, and safety of all children. In order to do so, parents, community members, students, and staff must vote to reinstate a PTA at their school. Please take a moment to quickly respond to a 2 question ballot on reinstating the PTA at Henrico HS.
Helps us show thanks to our teachers and staff by giving each one a pie for Thanksgiving break. We are asking for donations of pies to be dropped off Nov 14 and 15 in our front office. We have 145 Staff! All pies will be given out at our November Faculty Meeting. Thank you for helping us show gratitude to our Warrior staff!

SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP INFO
Extension for HARRY BYRD LEADERSHIP AWARD:
Remind your student to EMAIL everything to Mrs. Terry no later than Monday, November 13th at 4 PM. Please review all required documents in the interest application found in Schoology Class of 2024 group updates. Everything must come together in one email. You may only ask the writer of your letter of recommendation to send it separately to me at esterry@henrico.k12.va.us with the same deadline extension given to you; SUBJECT LINE: Harry Byrd Rec Letter- YOUR LAST NAME.
The Leadership Award seeks to reward senior applicants who consistently display excellence of character, qualities of leadership, devotion to duty, and academic accomplishment. While academic excellence is a consideration, the selection of award recipients emphasizes the importance of leadership and public service. Therefore, most recipients are leaders who go above and beyond their peers to improve themselves and to make a difference in the lives of others. Most recipients engage in endeavors that demonstrate their independence, initiative, courage, personal discipline, strong work ethic, commitment to community service, leadership qualities, ability to confront challenges, and pursuit of academic excellence. Recognize and nurture public service, which is critical to the preservation of American democracy, by awarding Virginia’s high school seniors who demonstrate a combination of excellence of character, qualities of leadership, devotion to duty and academic accomplishment with a $25,000 award. The interest application is attached below.

Signs of Suicide Lessons IMPORTANT INFO for families of sophomores!
The Henrico High School Counseling Department in collaboration with the Henrico High School Health and PE Department will present lessons on Signs of Suicide to all sophomores 11/14 and 11/15 through Health and PE 10 classes. All parents of sophomores should review the SOS STUDENT LETTER and PARENT OPT OUT LETTER found below, which share more about the program. The student letter was shared by Health and PE 10 teachers in class for the last two weeks. Parents only need to return the OPT OUT letter with their child’s full name and signed to their Health and PE 10 teacher if they are opting their child out of the program.

No Ordering Food
Students may not utilize 3rd party ordering companies like Uber eats or restaurant delivery systems. These parties are not vetted by HCPS or Henrico HS and pose a security concern when on campus. Students may not meet delivery drivers on campus or on the outskirts of campus for their own safety. As a reminder, all HHS students will receive free breakfast and lunch this year. We also have microwaves in every cafeteria to warm food brought from home. Finally, parents may drop off food for their students in the front office using the appropriate sign in protocols. Thank you for helping us keep our students and staff safe.

Important forms that need to be electronically signed on Power School include:
Code of Conduct
Student Health History
School Lab Safety Agreement
Compulsory Attendance
Media Denial Form

Please make sure your phone numbers and email addresses are correct.
It is also very important for you to update your custodial and non-custodial contact information, because this is where you put the people who are authorized to pick up your child from school. If the name of the person picking your child up is not in PowerSchool, you will be delayed.
