SOL Testing
The Spring Non-Writing SOL test window started during the last week of April. Please view the Herndon High School testing webpage for testing dates. Students received an email from Alisa Shreve (our Assessment Coach) with their testing schedule and other important information. Please encourage your child to check their school email for this message.
During May, a modified bell schedule will be implemented to accommodate testing on the following dates: Tuesday, May 3; Friday, May 6; Monday, May 9; and Thursday, May 12.
On Thursday, May 12, a modified bell schedule will be implemented to accommodate SOL testing. Parents/guardians are asked to remind their child about this modified schedule. The Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry SOL tests will be administered on May 12. Students will be reminded of this schedule change by staff members; however, parents/guardians are asked to remind their child about this modified schedule as well.
Volunteers Needed from ALL Grades - 2022 All Night Graduation Party
The Class of 2022 All Night Graduation (ANG) Party is coming up on June 1-2 (10:30 PM - 5:00 AM) at the high school. This party had been a tradition at Herndon High School for over 20 years prior to the pandemic - and is back for the first time since 2019!
ANG is an all night event sponsored by the PTSA to provide a fun-filled evening of games, food, entertainment and prizes in a well-chaperoned, drug and alcohol-free environment to help keep our seniors safe on graduation night.
Many volunteers are needed to make this a fun event! All grade level parents are encouraged to volunteer to support the senior families and see what the All Night Graduation Party is all about! Due to the pandemic, knowledge about the event has been diminished so it would be really helpful for the underclass parents to attend as it will facilitate your planning efforts in future years.
Please sign up below if you are able to assist with any available spots https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050c4ca9ae2e5-allnight
Thank you all so much! Your support is GREATLY appreciated!
AP Testing Volunteers Needed
Herndon High School is in need of volunteers to help with AP Testing May 2-May13. These individuals will be assisting the head proctors in charge of the exams and their duties will include checking ID’s, handing out and collecting tests, monitoring the test takers and counting tests when finished. Volunteers must be over 18 years old and a high school graduate. We also love any college students who would like to volunteer. Please email Shannon Kamenick at sfkamenick@fcps.edu if you would like to help out.
