📸 School Picture Day for HES will be Thursday, August 29th!! 📸 If you have any questions, please email brandi.karnes@herrinschools.org.
We’re excited to kick off the new school year by talking about Kindness! Our definition of Kindness is acting with understanding, generosity, and care. We believe developing skills around Kindness will help us build a strong foundation for a great year of learning, connecting, and growing together. Check out our family letter for more information about PurposeFull People and some fun ways you can join us in kicking off our most KIND year yet! Watch for monthly newsletters like this that outline the skills we are learning in class and provide fun ideas to grow as a family at home.
Once again parents, we want to welcome you back to HES and we look forward to a great school year together. We want to remind everyone of the attendance policy at HES.
If your child is going to be absent for any reason, you must call the office to report the absence. If you do not call before 12:00 pm, you will receive a phone call from the office stating your child has been marked UNEXCUSED for the day.
Students can be absent from school up to five times during the school year without needing a doctor's note, as long as the absence is excused (e.g., illness, family emergency). Once a student exceeds five excused absences, any additional absences will require a doctor's note. Students with 3 UNEXCUSED absences will be turned over to truancy.
H.E.S. is encouraging parents to sign up their ROOMS account to connect with their child’s classroom teacher. Parents can sign up using a magic code from their child’s teacher. Parents can stay informed and communicate with their teacher. Students will be rewarded with a special treat and a ticket to the school store if their parent/guardian signs up!
Don’t wait - JOIN TODAY!!
