Parents
The Henry Street School actively supports the inclusion of families, community members and neighborhood organizations in the work of the school. Through these efforts, the school will deepen its roots as a learning organization and establish itself as an important gathering place of cultures, values, and ideas within the local community--true to the legacy of the street from which it takes its name.
We are committed to:
