Is your student struggling to manage the number of emails coming in to their FCPS Google @fcpsschools.net account? Let's take some of those emails away! Have your student watch this video to learn how to turn off email notifications for Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/8CtcINLS1S8


School Counseling Advisory Council

Interested in providing feedback to Herndon Middle School’s School Counseling program? The HMS Student Services Department is offering the HMS community a unique opportunity. It’s easy and should only take a few minutes of your time. We are asking our HMS staff, students, families, and community to give us feedback - the good, the bad, and the constructive.
Please visit our website to review what we do, the programs we participate in, and the resources we provide. Most importantly, if you would like to partner with us in any way, we want to know that as well. Leave your contact information in the survey and someone will reach out to you. We appreciate your help and guidance!
If you have any questions, please contact Elyana Genovese, School Counselor. Eagenovese1@fcps.edu
