Voluntary PreK (VPK) is an income-based program and priority will be given to those families that qualify. Completing the Henderson County PreK application packet does not guarantee enrollment in the PreK program. Non-income eligible students are placed on a waiting list once all paperwork is complete. Per the VPK grant guidelines, non-income eligible students will be notified mid-September informing them of their waitlist status.

The Henderson County CER Lead Teachers were honored at the last Board Meeting held at Westover Elementary School. CER Curriculum teams are composed of excellent teachers from across our consortium. These teachers are selected by their school or district administrators for their strong teaching performance, willingness to learn and collaborate, innovation, and leadership skills. These master teachers work together in small teams specific to their content area and grade. They create materials, review materials, provide guidance on the benchmark assessment and pacing guides, and provide feedback to the consortium so that we continuously improve.

Mr. Beecham, Director of Schools, enjoyed celebrating Read Across America Week with the kindergarten class at Pin Oak Elementary School during Mrs. Lewis' library time.
Read Across America Week, held during the first week of March to honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday, encourages a love of reading among children. Organized by the National Education Association (NEA), the week features activities like storytimes, reading challenges, and author visits, all aimed at making reading fun and engaging.
Every year, Henderson County Elementary schools participate in the celebration, hosting events to inspire young readers. The week highlights the importance of literacy and celebrates diverse books that reflect various cultures and experiences. It’s a time to remind students that reading opens the door to endless possibilities.
