 Welcome to the home of the Hawks, here on the Internet site for J. Robert Hendricks Elementary school. Our highly performing campus of nearly 450 students is located in the strong community of Tucson. You'll find us at the central, southern part of Arizona, which offers bright and sunny skies and warm weather all year long. Hendricks Elementary serves kindergarten to 6th grade. We take great pride and care in teaching your children every day. Our teachers and staff know that encouragement and challenging work build great minds and character. We are proud to be an A+ School! Please take time to read our site in detail. This is a great way to keep informed and involved with our school. We'd love your partnership with us throughout your children's education. Our calendar and news page will keep you updated with our many activities. We also have your basic questions answered in the FAQ and you'll notice the Helpful Links page has some terrific links to enhance your child's education. Please contact us for anything you need. Our staff and teachers are glad you and your children are here with us this year!
Dear Hendricks Community, Another successful school year is drawing to a close. As always, May is a very busy month with many extra events scheduled such as field days, musical performances, and awards assemblies. Please keep a copy of the newsletter to check dates and times of upcoming events. Mrs. Agraan would appreciate a heads-up from parents whose child/children won’t be attending Hendricks or FWJH next year. Please stop in to see her prior to the last day of school for the necessary withdrawal form(s) which you will need to take to the receiving school. Students’ last day of school will be Thursday, May 20. This is a half-day, and we will have our Hendricks’ Awards Assemblies at 8:30 am for first through third grade students and 9:30 am for our fourth through sixth grade students. I hope you will be able to join us for this special celebration, which is a special event for all of us. As I mentioned in previous newsletters, we will have four special programs going on at school this summer. We will have three summer programs provided for the community on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm for six weeks. They will run from Monday, June 7th through Wednesday, July 14th. First, Ms. Pennington will have the library open to students. Additionally, our Gift of Reading Donor Library will be open. Students can choose books and report on the books that they have read. They will then be able to put their names into drawings for fun prizes. The Art Studio will also be open with a focus on clay murals, southwest crafts, and garden art. Finally, by invitation only, Ms. Hatfield will be teaching a special Summer Reading Roundup class for qualified students. In closing, thank you for your continued support of Hendricks Elementary School especially during these challenging times. On behalf of the entire staff, it is our privilege to work with the children and families of the Hendricks community. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing summer full of family fun. Please watch the marquee in early August for back-to-school news. Have a safe and memorable summer!
Sincerely,
