A Message from the Principal

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at Hendrix Elementary International Baccalaureate World School! It is a tremendous honor to serve the Hendrix Community as Principal for the past eight years. I love serving this great community and treasure the relationships with the staff, parents, and students. Hendrix is a special place. I am overjoyed to be in a position to positively impact the lives of students and teachers.

Academic achievement is a priority as we seek to ensure that each child achieves his or her potential through diverse and challenging educational experiences. Our goal is to create a learning community that is committed to engaging every student in every classroom every day. Our students, staff and families work together to create an environment where children are intellectually challenged in ways appropriate to their individual strengths, needs, and experiences.

We are the only elementary school in District Two that offers the International Baccalaureate Program, Creative Movement and Spanish… so you can be proud your child attends such a unique school. The combination of dance, art and music meet a very basic need in each of our students to find a means of expressing their individual talents.

We recognize the important role that parents and family play in the educational process and ask for your interest and support throughout the year. Parents, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. You know your child better than anyone else and we invite you to work in partnership with your child’s classroom teacher. You have rich insight into your child’s unique needs, talents and interests. Please feel free to share any information that you believe will help us increase your child’s success. With your help, we can instill life-long values in our students to work hard, exceed expectations, and to appreciate their education. Clear communications between home and school are important to the success of our educational program.

Please feel free to call the school if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to partnering with you and your child throughout their elementary years.

With much anticipation,

Tina Humphries, Principal
