HES Grab and Go Meals Important Update
Herndon Elementary School is a Grab and Go meal site. Meals are FREE for ALL FCPS students. Our hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 1:00 pm. On Fridays, they may pick up 2 extra bags for the weekend.
*Beginning October 20th, a snack and supper will be available at HES, too.
* As many schools will be used as polling places on November 3rd, Food and Nutrition Services will NOT be providing meal service on Election Day. We will provide two days-worth of meals on November 2nd. This is very similar to how weekend meals are distributed on Fridays.

"Go Paperless" Progress Reports Option for FCPS Elementary Schools
The 1st Quarter ends October 30th and progress reports will go out shortly after! The “Go Paperless” option is now available to all elementary school parents to allow them to only receive online progress reports starting the first quarter of SY 20/21. This will not impact any other mailings from FCPS other than the progress reports for ES students and report cards for secondary students. To take advantage of the paperless options, parents and/or guardians will need to log into ParentVUE, then go to “My Account” and select "Go Paperless" All parents and/or guardians who live with the student and share the same address must have a SIS ParentVUE account and must select the paperless option to prevent mailing of the printed progress reports. The “Go Paperless” option will apply to all their associated students, no matter what school level. If the associated parent and/or guardian has already selected “Go Paperless” for their secondary student, the option will now apply to any ES siblings as well.
