COMMUNICATION: Mr. Henderson will be using the REMIND APP to communicate with parents. Please download the application on your phone and search for WA Heights Bus then join the group. Parents should already have the app as it is what homeroom teachers use to communicate quickly with the entire class. 

Here is a more detailed step by step:

  1. Go to www.remind.com/join/waheights

  2. Select either text or email for your communication

  3. Enter the preferred email and mobile phone number

  4. You will receive a confirmation code. Please enter it where prompted

  5. You can now receive messages from Mr. Henderson

SAFETY: While Mr. Henderson is driving, they are not able to attend to problems on the bus and/or discipline students. Therefore, if they have to reprimand your son more than once, you will be asked to drive your son to/from school for the remainder of the week. Boys should either read a book, do homework, sleep, or have conversation which is allowed as long as it does not become a distraction to them on the way to/from school.
