Dear Moms and Dads,

 

School pictures went home with the youngsters this past Wednesday afternoon.  If your children were absent on picture day in September or if you aren’t happy with their pictures, PICTURE RETAKE DAY is this coming Wednesday, October 28th.   If you do have pictures and want retakes, children need to come with the pictures that were sent home Wednesday.  If you were absent, please stop by the office for an order blank if you can’t find the original one.

 

You will find a message from the Watertown Health Department in your packet today.  It basically lets you know that FREE clinics for the H1N1 vaccinations are going to be offered in school for the children.  They are hoping to have one here at St. Henry in mid-November, specifics to follow.  They will be insisting that children in grades 4K through grade five have an adult here when the vaccine is given – either a parent or possibly a stand-in family member.  The tentative plan now is to run the clinic near to the end of the school day and shortly after.  Permission slips, signed by the parents, will need to be turned in ahead of time by a date to be announced.  In the meantime, please keep any sick children home.  Call your doctor about possible flu symptoms.  Encourage your children to wash their hands well and frequently with soap and hot water.  I’ll share those details about the clinic date and times and the necessary paperwork as soon as I get them.

 

Basketball season is getting underway.  Please, moms and dads of participants, download the Athletic Handbook found on the school homepage of our sainthenryparish.org website and at least skim through the parts pertinent to you and your athletes.  If you are unable to access that, please let us know and we will get a paper copy to you.  It’s important that you let me or an Athletic Association board member know if you have any concerns about the program.  Mr. Bob Breunig is the basketball coordinator and Mrs. Sherry (Rob) Harms is the president, in case you’re not sure who is on the board.  We want this to be a truly fun experience for the youngsters.
