HERNDON ALL NIGHT GRAD PARTY
for all HHS Class of 2018 Grads
June 12, 11:30PM - 4:30AM
at the Herndon Community Center
Graduation is just around the corner, which means our students will want
to celebrate - they’ve earned it and we have a BIG (and safe!)
celebration planned just for them.
The
HHS All Night Grad Party
is June 12, 11:30pm - 4:30am. Activities include an
internationally renowned illusionist, casino, large inflatable games and
obstacle courses, airbrush tattoos, photo booth, massages, music,
prizes for everyone and LOTS of food.
Prizes are given out all night long, and those who stay for the entire
evening have a chance to win GRAND PRIZES. Think flat screen TVs, iPads,
gift cards, and so much more!
All HHS graduating seniors should be at this awesome celebration!
Don't wait...
get your ticket today…tickets can be purchased on the web site at www.herndonang.org.
If you have questions, please e-mail hhsang2018@gmail.com.
Please HELP US SPREAD THE WORD so no senior misses the celebration they have earned! If your neighbors and your student’s
friends are not on the “who’s
going” list (found here - http://www.herndonang.org/who-s-going-.html),
please contact them and remind them about this event. Spread the word
to all the seniors on your child’s sports teams and in your clubs. We
need everyone’s help to make sure all of our seniors know about this and
get to attend. Have your son/daughter share
this on their Twitter, FB, Instagram and Snapchat. We need your help
to get the word out to
everyone! Every senior worked hard and deserves this celebration!
Students Ordering Food for Delivery During the School Day
Students are not permitted to order food during school hours. Additionally, they are not allowed to come to the main office or any area of
the school to accept food from a delivery person. If food is delivered to school for a student, it will be confiscated and stored in the main office until the end of the day. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
May is National Mental Health Awareness month. While the majority of our students thrive and are resilient, all students can struggle at times with emotional and behavioral issues that can affect their learning and overall wellness. Schools are often the place where these kinds of issues, as well as other mental health needs, are discovered and where school-based supports can be provided. FCPS wants all parents and guardians to know that your school psychologist, school social worker, and school counselor are available for consultation and support on concerns such as anxiety, peer relationships, stress, depression or other social and emotional issues. They can also provide a list of private and community-based mental health resources. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school to connect with a member of the student services team. Click on the following links to learn about resources and ways to foster resilience in your child. Mental Health and Resiliency, Healthy Minds Blog, and Student Wellness: Tips and Strategies.
SPRING SOL TEST SCHEDULE
SOLs are right around the corner! See the Spring SOL testing
schedule on our HHS website. Students taking multiple SOLs will only be
scheduled for one test per day. They will receive a pink SOL testing pass with
exact dates in May. Please remind your student that electronic devices (such as
cell phones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, and ipods) will not be permitted
in the testing room. It is recommended that they leave these electronic devices
at home on days they are testing. In addition, book bags are not permitted in
the testing room. If it is necessary for your student to bring their book bag
to school and they do not have a locker this year, please encourage them to plan
ahead as to which teachers classroom or which office they will be leaving it in
during testing. If you have any questions, please contact Megan Bieleski.
THE SCRIBE
Wouldn’t you love to see your creation in Herndon High School’s Art & Literary Magazine? We invite all students to submit artwork, literary writing, photos, videos, and music compositions to The Scribe, a digital anthology of HHS student art and literary works published annually.
You can grab a submission form from your English or Art teacher or you can complete a digital submission form found on the Student Information Blackboard page. You can also check out last year’s edition there too.

Parents of Class of 2018:
As we embark on the final
semester of your student’s senior year at HHS we know that high school
graduation and the celebrations that surround that event are a few short months
away. As we begin preparing for our June 12th graduation ceremony it is
imperative that our students’ financial obligations are cleared. Senior dues
are $100. Our Senior dues pay for a number of graduation related expenses; the
graduate’s cap and gown, their diploma and diploma cover, the Senior picnic the
week before graduation, and other graduation related expenses. Students
must pay their Senior dues in order to receive their cap and gown, which must
be worn during the graduation ceremony.
You may pay your senior dues
in the HHS Main Office or online via MySchoolBucks.com. If you have ordered
Senior Panoramic Picture, you may collect it from the Main Office.
