Welcome back! As you're making plans for back to school, here is our menu to help ease the meal time jitters.

🚗 New Car Rider Line Procedures 🚗 We’re excited to share updated car rider line procedures for Thelma B. Johnson Early Learning Center to help ensure a smoother and safer arrival and dismissal for our students! 📽️ Please take a few minutes to watch this important video explaining the new process: https://youtu.be/GIqgPCxiTZs We kindly ask all families to use extra caution and patience as we adjust to this new routine together. Safety is our top priority, and your cooperation makes all the difference! Thank you for helping us keep our little learners safe and sound! 💙

🎉 We are beyond thrilled to announce that for the 5th year in a row, we’ve been voted Best Place to Work in Henderson! 🏆
Earning this recognition year after year means so much to us — and it’s all because of our incredible 1,200 employees who represent Henderson County Schools with pride, passion, and purpose.
At HCS, we pursue excellence, and we believe that genuine relationships are the foundation of everything we do — it’s not just a motto, it’s our core value.
Thank you, Henderson, for your continued support! 🙌

All students receive free school meals; however, we still need your household to complete a brief form to help determine eligibility for other benefits, such as reduced fees and school funding. Please complete by Sept. 12. One form per household.

📅 One Month to Go! 📚
We’re just one month away from the first day of school — August 7th!
Our halls may be quiet now, but we’re already getting excited to welcome our students and staff back for another great year. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer break — we’ll see you soon! ☀️🚌🍎

We have a wonderful tradition here in Henderson that started a few years ago — our graduating seniors get to walk the halls of their former elementary and middle schools! 🎓✨ It's such a meaningful way to celebrate their journey & reconnect with former teachers &staff. Watching the younger students cheer them on reminds us all of how far they've come — and how bright their futures are!

TBJ took the students on a trip to the zoo on April 15th and 16th. Check out some of the pictures we took along the way through this link! https://hendersoncountyky.sites.thrillshare.com/o/tbjelc/page/tbj-goes-to-the-zoo

🌟 This week, we proudly join the nationwide celebration of National Volunteer Appreciation Week—a special time within National Volunteer Month dedicated to honoring the amazing individuals who give so generously to our schools and students.

TBJ: Good evening! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter 🐣 weekend. I wanted to let all families know that the deconstruction of the front office area began Friday. The car rider line will wrap around the 6th St. side, as it did after the water break. Check outs/ins will be at the 6th St side exit door. Thank you!

beginning tomorrow, we can use our front lobby! We will resume normal arrival. departure, check in etc. You should have received a letter and a new permission slip for our postponed zoo trip. Due to impending weather forecast we will go to the zoo on 4/15 & 4/16. Thanks

Due to water-covered roads, continued rising waters throughout the morning, and the threat of severe weather, Henderson County Schools will be closed on Friday, March 3. This will not be an NTI day of instruction. Child care centers will be open today at East Heights, Bend Gate, and Thelma B. Johnson Early Learning Center.
