Today we give a huge shoutout to Mr. George Ray for absolutely everything he does at HES to keep us up and running. From troubleshooting tech issues to making sure our systems stay strong, we couldn’t do it without him! Thank you, Mr. Ray, for all your hard work and dedication—you’re the reason our technology world runs so smoothly! 🙌👏
Dear Herrin CUSD #4 Families,
We're excited to announce a significant upgrade to our district's phone system, replacing the antiquated system that has been in place for several years. This modernization will improve communication and safety for our students, teachers, and staff, while also helping us connect with you more effectively
The installation of the new system is currently in progress, and we will begin transitioning to the new system over the next few days. We ask for your patience as our staff becomes familiar with the new equipment over the next couple of weeks. One possible issue during this time may be an occasional dropped call when transferring. If this occurs, please simply call back.
All district phone numbers will remain the same. We are confident this upgrade will make communication smoother and more efficient for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make this much-needed improvement for our schools and families.
Sincerely,
Herrin CUSD #4 Administration
