Henderson Parents and Visitors
Everyone is welcome at Henderson! Parents and visitors to the school or its grounds during the school day must report to the receptionist on duty in the lobby or the Office. A Visitor or Volunteer badge must be displayed during your visit at all times. You are also required to provide a photo ID in exchange for your badge and then it will be returned to you at the conclusion of your visit. This is a requirement to insure the safety and security of all students, personnel and visitors at Henderson. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Absent or Tardy
If your child is going to be absent or tardy due to illness, a doctor’s appointment, a family emergency, etc., please call our Absent and Tardy Line at (703) 670-0733 to report it to the office. Be sure to give your child’s full name, grade level, teacher name and the reason for the absence or tardy when you call. Thank you for your cooperation.

Vacation with students
If you wish to take a vacation with your student during the school year the parents must submit a written request five days in advance and pre-approval must be given by the school administration. If this request is not submitted the absence will be unexcused. Teachers are not required to provide assignments in advance. We encourage students to read, keep a written journal, and practice math facts while out of school.
