Henning School Distance Learning Protocols (Effective - Wednesday, October 21) The Henning Staff have the following expectation during online learning for full attendance being awarded and basic online etiquette: 1. The student must be logged in to their Google Meet class session individually and on time. 2. The student's entire face must be visible in live video (NO AVATAR) for recognition and participation/engagement. 3. The student must be present the entire class period. 4. The student must be focused on class content and not be engaged in other activities that are a nuisance to their learning. 5. The student must be dressed appropriately (their attire should not be a distraction to other students or staff). 6. Students should be muted when they are not asking a question or until they are called upon. 7. The student must be aware of their background and environment. The students background and environment must not be a distraction to their learning or the learning of others (Students can use the "Background Blur Option" feature in Google Meets to assist with this matter). *Attendance & Participation rules apply to all learners during all of our Learning Models. If a student is absent, their participation in practice and games can be impacted.

Junior High Football has been canceled for this evening due to the poor weather. Practice is canceled too.

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.
