New Student Check-in Check-out System at Herndon ES
We ask that parents accompany students that are late into the school building, where an office staff member will assist with a computerized check-in process. Please do not drop off your child at the front of the building.
Need to check your child out at the end of the day? Please send in a note so that the teacher and office are aware. Also, please come to the office no later than 3:30pm. It is very busy in the classrooms as the teachers and students are closing out the end of the day.
We appreciate your cooperation in implementing this new procedure, as it helps us maintain a secure and organized environment for all students. Thank you for your ongoing support in making our school safe for everyone!

Stuff the Bus Donations
All November Long
This year, giving has never been easier as the Fairfax County Stuff the Bus campaign has gone virtual. From Nov. 1-30, 2023, individuals and community groups can make monetary donations directly to local non-profit organizations that provide food assistance in Fairfax County. The campaign coincides with Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week in Fairfax County. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors designated Nov.11-18, 2023 (the week before Thanksgiving), as Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week to raise awareness about the pressing issues of hunger and homelessness in Fairfax County. Read more here on how to help.
