 You know that Herndon Elementary is a special place when former students who just graduated from high school wanted to come back and do a drive by! We are so proud of our 2020 graduates and wish them all the best!
Mrs. Fennessy's Friday Song!
Dear Bees,
This is the last “Friday” song for the school year! We hope you have a wonderful summer and we can’t wait to see you again! This song expresses how we feel about you – “Life is Better with You” by Michael Franti with the
PS 22 Chorus!
Love,
Mrs. Fennessy
Last Day to Pick Up Student Belongings is June 19
If you missed picking up your student(s) belongings last week, we are offering one more opportunity for pick-up on Friday, June 19 from 9 am to 3 pm. We plan to dispose of any leftover student items. Please contact Sandy Goodwin at segoodwin@fcps.edu if you won’t be able to make it that day and would like us to hold your child’s belongings. Thank you!
Register for Summer Learning
Dear HES Families,
FCPS school buildings will remain closed through the end of July. Therefore, we will continue to provide recommended distance learning opportunities for students throughout the summer. Your students will have access to skill practice through the iReady digital lessons through the FCPS public Universal Screener website. Students will need to enter their FCPS login credentials to access these resources. These digital activities will be available until Friday, July 31st.
Additionally, students currently in grades K-6 will receive both a Mathematics and a Language Arts Essentials Summer Practice Book in the mail by the end of June. Digital versions of the books will also be posted on the Continuity of Learning Blackboard page. These books will provide recommended practice activities for students to review essential content from the 2019-2020 school year; they are not intended to preview content from next year’s grade level but rather reinforce essential learning from this past year.
As students access these activities from June 29 to July 31, they will have the opportunity to attend one virtual office hour each week with one of our own outstanding staff members. They should attend the session for this year’s grade level. The schedule is as follows:
Kindergarten Rabia Gilani 12 pm – 1 pm Monday
Grade 1 Ashley Tingler 9:30 am – 10:30 am Monday
Grade 2 Saadia Abbasi 11 am – 12 pm Monday
Grade 3 Pam Galyean 9 am – 10 am Monday
Grade 4 Marta Gonzalez 10 am – 11 am Monday
Grade 5 Tara Carpenter 9 am – 10 am Monday
Grade 6 Candy Ruiz 10 am – 11 am Monday
Special Education Tara Carpenter
ESOL Lisa O’Donnell and Brenna Clark
To register your student for office hours and receive a secure link, please complete the following form: https://forms.gle/WdtFLTKsv7QDCnvb9. Once registered, your child will receive log-in information via their FCPS Google email address prior to the first session. Please register by Friday, June 19th. Thank you!
Please check the Herndon ES website for updates and more opportunities as they become available. https://herndones.fcps.edu/

We apologize for the delay but Lifetouch is also working remotely and slowly started back with production. They told us that they may arrive as early as late June but probably sometime in July. Please keep checking the website or email Sandy Goodwin at segoodwin@fcps.edu with any questions. More details will follow as soon as we receive updated information and we will contact you when they arrive. Thank you for your patience during this time.
