During the month of September, HES students have been learning about RESPECT. It's important to respect yourself, others, and the environment around you. We encourage everyone to see the value in one another and treat each other with care every day!

Midterms go home today. Now is a great time to find out how to login to Power School if you are not already doing that. Power School gives parents access to grades at any time so they don't have to find out students are struggling once it's too late.

More HES students being recognized for showing KINDNESS! So proud of them!!
Dental Safari will now be at HES on October 22 and October 23 due to some scheduling conflicts. If you need additional information, please email Nurse Toni at toni.lawrence@herrinschools.org.
