On another note, blogger.com has just added a feature to its site that allows me to post poll questions and collect data from users. I'm interested in getting some feedback about how this tool could be used to allow for input from parents, students and community groups about the happenings at Henley. I've posted a sample poll to try and gauge just how many of you in the blogosphere would be interested in using a tool such as this. Please think about whether or not this would be something that you would like to see used on occasion by responding to the poll that you see on the right side of this page. Unfortunately, this tool does not provide for free response answers, which would likely give me much better feedback. However, you can always reach me via the e-mail link on the top right of the page to let me know how you feel.
I've enjoyed hearing from many of you this week and hope that I have been effective in addressing this issues that you've brought to my attention. We're spending a great deal of time at Henley finishing up our staffing and working on the master schedule. We're also beginning to set some of the major dates for the 2007-2008 calendar. Right now, there are two dates that I would like everyone to be aware of:
- Monday, August 20 from 10:00-12:00 will be our Henley open house. Students should have received their schedules by this time and can come to the school to make sure they know where they are going on the first day of school.
- Wednesday, September 5 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. will be the Henley Back-to-School Night. This is a night where you can come to the school to spend an evening going through your child's schedule and hear about the types of things that they will be studying for the coming year.
We hope to see all of you at these informative events. Until then......Go Hornets!
