Voluntary PreK (VPK) is an income-based program and first priority will go to those families that qualify. Completing the Henderson County PreK application packet does not necessarily guarantee enrollment in the PreK program. Non-income eligible students will NOT be notified until after school has started. Non-income eligible students are placed on a waiting list once all paperwork is complete. Once all qualifying students are placed, non-income eligible students will receive notice informing them of their status after the beginning of school, per the VPK grant guidelines.
Visit our website or app to get 2023-24 supply lists! Remember that all supplies are provided for VPK preK!

Our summer campers had a surprise visit from Rocky T the Raccoon. Our PBS affiliates brought Rocky along to help our students create "story blocks" and spur their imagination. Through story telling.
This month we are celebrating the core value of compassion. Compassion means that we have sympathy for the suffering of others. Compassion means that we suffer along with them. This week, see if you can catch yourself in those moments when compassion wanes. When you notice, without beating yourself up, gently remind yourself that you and the rest of us are doing the best we each can at this point in time. Take a few breaths, and silently say to yourself, “at this moment, with this breath, I am doing the best I can.” Then apply this to the other person, silently saying to yourself, “at this moment, with this breath, he/she is doing the best they can.” Compassion and love can change the the paths of our schools and our homes.
We will be shutting the gates to the parking lot at about 8:15 this morning to ensure that our kids are safe during Waterworld. Any parent that wants to come and be present is welcome. Please park across from the gym and walk down the side of the gym and check in at the office and receive an ID tag. We ask that you not be in the building other than to use the restroom. If you are not attending, but you want to check your child out at some point today for an appointment, I would suggest that you call ahead to the office and let us start getting them ready so that you can get them expediently. Have a great day!
Congrats to this week's Lion Listeners! Ruby Reed, Lorena Pearcy and Emersyn Maness were presented their prizes by "principal of the day" Hadley Barber.
