First Full Day of Ramadan
The first full day of Ramadan is Monday, March 11. In Islam, Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset each day, while striving to increase their spirituality through prayers, charity, and good deeds.
- Please let your child’s classroom teacher know if your child will require choice and flexibility during lunch time, beyond the cafeteria during Ramadan.
Read more about Ramadan in National Geographic Kids.
Mr. Jones' class and others are celebrating our students' attendance!
Coming to school every day is important for our elementary school family. When we all show up regularly, it makes our school a fun and welcoming place. Each student brings something special to our school, making it a wonderful and diverse group. Being here daily helps us make friends, get to know our teachers, and feel like we're part of something awesome. Plus, it helps us learn better and do well in our classes. If you need support building healthy attendance routines, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.

Lightspeed Classroom Management
As part of our commitment to creating a safe and focused learning environment for our students, Herndon Elementary is using a classroom management tool that will help teachers better connect with student devices during classes. We are continuing to expand our use over the coming weeks. This tool will provide teachers with a number of helpful features:
- Easily view student screens in real time from the teacher console to see which students may need guidance or support.
- Focus student attention on a particular website on their device to minimize distractions.
- Pause student access to the internet to focus on other classroom tasks.
We believe this classroom management tool will allow us to maximize class time to support your student’s learning while at school. Please note that student devices will not be monitored outside of school hours. The regular filters remain in place on school devices, but once they are home, teachers cannot monitor students. As parents, we would like to encourage you to sign up for your own Lightspeed reports, which will allow you to see how your child is spending time on the computer during and after school hours.
