Herndon ES Welcome Walk

We are excited to host our Welcome Walk on Thursday, August 17th from 9:30 am -12 pm. Your child will meet their teacher for the new school year when the teacher drops by your home for a brief “door visit” to introduce themselves and welcome your family.

If you are not home during the Welcome Walk, the teachers will leave a door hanger that contains the teacher assignment and class information.  Out of area students will receive a telephone “visit”. First day packets will also be delivered, if you are home. Please call the school by 4:00 pm, on Tuesday, August 15th, if you will not be home and do not want the hanger left on your door.

Visitas de Bienvenida de 
Herndon ES

Estamos muy contentos de organizar nuestras Visitas de Bienvenida el jueves, 17 de agosto de 9:30 am a 12 pm. Su niño conocerá a su maestro del nuevo año escolar cuando el maestro pase por su casa para una “breve visita” en la puerta para presentarse y darle la bienvenida a su familia.

Si Ud. no está en casa durante la Visita de Bienvenida, los maestros dejarán un colgador de puerta que contiene la asignación del maestro e información de clase.  Los alumnos fuera del área recibirán una "visita" telefónica. También se les entregará los paquetes del primer día, si está en casa. Si no va a estar en casa y no quiere que el colgador quede en la puerta.  Llame a la escuela hasta las 4:00 pm, el martes 15 de agosto.

Our vision for the 2023-2024 school year is…

  • We will know all of our bees as scholars and as humans.
  • As a staff, we are a team and collectively responsible for all of our bees.
  • We will bring joy to our Bees' lives everyday and celebrate their successes throughout the school year.
  • All members of our Hive will know that belong here.
