ACADEMIC ADVISING
AND COURSE SELECTION FOR THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR - During January, February and March all school
counselors will meet with each of their rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders

this time, your child will bring home their course selection materials.

funds and planning a great party for our seniors. This is a “locked-in” event
just for the seniors following their graduation ceremony on Monday, June 19th. The event is held at the Herndon Community

be casino games, inflatables, indoor laser tag, airbrush tattoo artists,
massage therapists, a performance by Alain Nu, a well-known illusionist, and
LOTS of food and prizes. However, tickets must be purchased in advance. For
planning purposes, it helps the committee to know how many seniors to expect so
we can ensure we have ample prizes and food.
Forms are available in English and Spanish and can be found on
the website www.herndonang.org or in the RED OFFICE. You can also order a ticket from the website
with PayPal. There are reduced rates available for those that currently qualify
for free or reduced lunch pricing. See the ticket form for details.

signs can be purchased $25 at www.herndonang.org.

selected so far and announced at the Parent Casino night. You still have a chance to win! We will be
drawing more names at the planning meetings in February, March, April, and
May. Raffle tickets cost $5 for 1 ticket

download the form and send it with your payment to the school.
