 Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather-related closing decisions are made.
FCPS’ inclement weather procedures will remain the same as last year. The first five inclement weather days will be traditional “snow days” with no school activities. After those five days, we will use the flexibility provided by the Virginia General Assembly to have unscheduled virtual learning days, whenever possible, to maintain the continuity of learning. Virtual learning on these days will be synchronous/live instruction, following the inclement weather virtual learning day schedule (includes a two-hour delay).
FCPS’ website is generally the first mode of communication during emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be sure to plan ahead for the winter season. Make sure your contact information is up-to-date in weCare@school, bookmark the FCPS website, plan for childcare, if appropriate, and know what items your child may need to take home before a weather event.

HMS Cafeteria (please enter through door 6)
Come warm up at Herndon Middle School’s annual Cocoa and Coats!
Through donations from Northwest Federal Credit Union and local organizations we are able to provide coats for our HMS community.
**One coat per HMS student. There will be additional sizes for children and adults too.**
 Do you have an old coat that no longer fits? Donate it to the main office and we can make sure students here at HMS or at the elementary school receive a warm coat for the winter! We will also be collecting scarves, hats and mittens of all sizes.
Donations can be dropped off in the Main Office until 12/8. Thank you for your support!
If you are in need of a coat or other warm items please see your counselor in the Resource Wing or Mrs. Fanny Salazar in the main office.
