Updates from Herndon Middle School 1/7/2021

Message from Principal Klena- Student Supports

Dear Herndon Families,

I am providing an update from Dr. Brabrand’s message that went out to our FCPS community last night.  In light of the events at the Capitol on January 6, we are providing resources to our students at Herndon Middle School. As educators, we have the opportunity to help students process events that are challenging and upsetting in our world. In classrooms today, our teachers will let students know we have staff to support them if they express a need.  We do not expect all teachers to process the events with the students.  We did guide our social studies teachers to provide a short time for students to process individually and share questions with their teachers. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or requests. 

 

You may also reach out to our Student Services team.
