Summer 2008

Hello Parents and Families!

As we begin our summer vacation, I want to thank everyone--students, staff, parents and administrators--for a wonderful year! Kudos to all eighth graders passing successfully to ninth grade in their chosen vocational or high school. I am very proud of the hard work that went on all year inside these walls of Henry Lord.

School Hours are from 8 am - 2 pm during the summer months. 

Summer School registration ended on June 24. The Summer School Session begins on July 7 and runs through August 1 from 8 am - 12:15 pm. Please note that no lunch will be served.

For parents of incoming sixth graders, I want to notify you ahead of time of the "Sixth Grade Transition Program" that we will be holding at Henry Lord on Tuesday, August 26 from 5-7 pm. Invitation letters with details of the program will go out to parents in early July. Students will have the opportunity to meet their teachers, tour the school, visit their homerooms and lockers, and speak with the principal and staff. Students who attend will receive free school supplies, Henry Lord t-shirts and can enjoy pizza and soda after the program.

Included with the invitation letter is a Summer Reading List. (View the Summer Reading List here.) Incoming sixth grade students are expected to read two books from this list before arriving to school on September 4. (View the entire Academic calendar for 2008-2009 here.)
