We also encourage parents to attend our pre-BTSN activities from 5:00-6:00 pm. We will offer a resource fair in the cafeteria at 5:00 pm. During this time, parents will have the opportunity to sign up for a SIS Parent Account, get information regarding school and community resources, and buy Herndon spirit gear from the PTA. Also beginning at 5:00 pm, AVID students and families may visit room 130 for the AVID contract signing and photo drop in event.

Digital Resource Parental Consent Needed

At Herndon Middle School, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families.  Some of the digital resources your student may use this year will require your consent.  You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here. 

Here is the link to a form where you need to indicate whether or not your student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your student will not be able to use the digital resources starting October 1 if we have not received permission. If you have multiple children at Herndon Middle School, the form will need to be filled out individually for each child.

If you need the consent form in another language please click here and choose another language on the menu at the top right of the page. If you need a translated form, please do not use Internet Explorer.


Transportation- Can't Ride Home With Friends

Message from transportation department:
