Updates from Herndon Middle School 2/24/2021

2/25 and 2/26 are Asynchronous Days

asynchronous

Thursday 2/25 Odd Day and Friday 2/26 Even Day will be Asynchronous Assignment Days for Herndon Middle School Students.  Teachers will post assignments on the Google Classroom Sites.  These days are designated preparation days for FCPS Secondary teachers to prepare for hybrid in person and virtual concurrent instruction.


Concurrent Classrooms Orientation

During Fourth Period today, 2/24, students heard about the plans for our upcoming hybrid instructional model.  The slide show is posted for future reference on our Grade Level Google Classrooms and we asked teachers to post the presentation as well.  The students heard about what to expect when their classrooms are a mix of in person and virtual and they learned what supplies are needed for the in person students when it is their day to come to school.  We also included best practices for devices and shared our Away for the Day phone policy.  As we go through the next few weeks, we will have several orientations for students and continue to post them for future reference.  Check in with your student to learn more.
