Henry School District 14-2

FAFSA is now open for the 26-27 school year for current seniors.

What is the FAFSA? FAFSA stands for the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid.” It is a form provided by the U.S. Department of Education to determine your eligibility for federal financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study funds, to help pay for college or career school. It is free to apply.

STEP 1: Prepare to complete the FAFSA by establishing your FSA ID. The FSA ID is a username and password for your account at StudentAid.gov. If you have any questions or need help completing the FAFSA or obtaining your FSA ID, contact Mapping Your Future at feedback@mappingyourfuture.org or 1-800-374-4072.
Create your FSA ID https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa Click create account

STEP 2: -You will put your parents email address in when applying. That will send your parents a link. Then your parents will need to create an FSA ID. If your parents are married and file jointly then only one parent needs to have a FSA ID. Possibly both parents might need to depending on the situation.

STEP 3: Gathering Needed Documents to fill out FAFSA
You might need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA form:
Tax returns
Records of child support received
Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Your parent’s SSN if they have an SSN and you’re a dependent student (for the 2025–26 FAFSA form only)
Keep these records! You may need them again. Do not mail these supporting records to us unless otherwise instructed to do so.

Step 4: Once you both have a FSA ID, then you can apply for the FASFA. Make sure you have all documents needed before applying.

School Picture Day. Carson Kelly's annual outfit for his school picture.

6th, 7th, and 8th grade students started the 10 week Too Good for Drugs program last week with Madison Shaw from the NEPRC.

Today preschool got to meet their 5th grade reading buddies! We started with a “get to know you” interview and wrapped up by reading a book together. The kids were so excited to meet their new friends! We can’t wait to see all the fun they will have together this year!

If a student wanted a lanyard or key chain to help keep track of their key, and did not receive one yesterday, there has been many ordered that will come in a few weeks. Again if you need to get a hold of your child during the day please contact the office.

We can't wait to see everyone! 🍎

Wondering "Why Henry?" Let's hear from the Scott Family. "The staff and teachers at Henry are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and truly care about the kids and their families. Mrs. Nerison went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the year. She consistently communicated what was happening in the classroom and shared tons of wonderful pictures that helped us feel connected to Maren's day-to-day experience. What really stood out was the extra effort she made to support Maren's speech development. Mrs. Nerison shared helpful learning materials, tips, and tricks that made a noticeable difference-- Maren's speech improved so much thanks to her guidance and encouragement. Every day at drop-off and pick-up, we were greeted by name and with a warm smile. It's clear that this is more than just a school-- it's a community. We absolutely love Henry and can't wait for year two!"
