A Note from the Principal's Desk
We look forward to welcoming our hornets Monday, Aug. 5th to start an exciting school year! Doors open at 7:00am.
Thank you to PTA, HES Foundation & volunteers for helping us get the school ready for students!
Parents are welcome inside the building to walk students to class during the First Week of School.
Please make sure your child's teacher knows how your child is getting home the first day. Try to keep the same dismissal routine for at least TWO weeks. Changes during the first two weeks could cause confusion for staff. We appreciate your understanding.
We look forward to seeing our Hornets Monday!
Proud to Serve,
-Principal Henley
