All Henderson students are assigned a specific bus and stop. If a student wants to ride a different bus, parents/guardians must call (703-720-5537)/email (millsd@fccps.org) the transportation department and the student will be given a bus pass. 

*The Transportation Department sometimes encounters delays in arrival time, particularly in the afternoon. This could be caused by a number of factors, including traffic jams. 

Questions or concerns regarding transportation should be directed to Regina Anderson via email at randerson@fccps.org or visit the website. 

Articles of clothing or items that are misplaced during the school day are placed in the lost and found located at the bottom of the main stairwell. Students and parents/guardians are encouraged to check this regularly as it is emptied every quarter and the items are donated to charity. Grade-level teams also keep lost and found areas to assist students with locating their lost items. Both places should be checked. It is also helpful to label student items as it helps us with their return. 

If you want to check what's in the main lost and found, visit this site.

During lunch, students are able to select their seats. Students should not be standing or moving around throughout lunch. About halfway through lunch, we do allow students to move outside (weather permitting) or to the library (limited availability). 

Students are expected to clean up after themselves. Do not leave trash or a mess at your table. Be respectful!
