- January 16th and 21st -Counselors provided an overview of what to expect next year and informed students of their course options. 7th grade students received their course selection sheets.
- January 30th-Paper copies of course selection sheets, with parent/guardian signature, are due to science teachers.
- February 3rd-7th – Science teachers will lead lessons to help students input classes into SIS.
-
February 10th-27th- Counselors will meet with students (individually), during their science class, to finalize their course selections on-line through SIS.Parents/Guardians are encouraged to review their child’s selected courses through the on-line portal in SIS. Selections are only able to be made through the student’s SIS account.
- March 13th- Students course selections will be locked in SIS. Final selections must be completed prior to this date.

AVID
At Herndon Middle School we have an elective called AVID which is about helping students prepare for college, set goals, and achieve their dreams. AVID is a national program that targets students considered ‘in the middle,’ meaning they do well in regular classes, but could take at least one honors course with additional support. Check the description to see if you fit into this awesome family we call AVID!
