To assist with managing our 50% bus capacity rule - Effective Monday, October 5 the Henning School will not allow students to ride on a school bus that they are not scheduled on as part of the normal route. The exception to the rule is for students in fourth grade or below that require a route change due to child care related issues. We will not be able to assist with transporting students for birthday parties, sleep overs, etc. during this time. Also, we ask that any of these child care transportation requests be communicated with the school before 1:30.

We want to say “Thank You” to our students and staff for making our first day of school such a positive day. It was a great sight to see our students and staff working together again after six months of being out of the building. #HenningPride

Our Senior Class (Class of 2021) continued the tradition of welcoming our Kindergartners (Class of 2033) on the first day of school.
