Remote learners may pick up along Polk Street at 10:30 AM, and in-person learners may pick up in the Commons Area after school.
Happy Sunday HHS Families,
I wanted to drop a quick line today regarding attendance/grades at HHS. Our faculty and staff are tracking an alarming number of students, both remote and in-person, who are not completing any assignments for this semester and who are not checking in with their teachers for attendance.
We will be sending grade and attendance information home on Monday during Advisory class for in-person learners and through the mail for remote learners. Live grade/attendance information can be accessed through the PowerSchool Parent and/or Student Portals (https://powerschool.herrinschools.org/public/home.html). If you would like PowerSchool access, please email techdesk@herrinschools.org and provide your name and your student's name.
Every assignment counts for a grade this semester at Herrin High. Through a combined school and home partnership, we can ensure student success.
Stay safe,
Mr. Mason
Good afternoon! This is an update regarding fan attendance at Herrin CUSD #4 Athletic Events.
According to IDPH guidelines, all fans must wear a mask at indoor and outdoor events. Individuals should maintain at least 30 feet distance from any player, coach, or official. We ask that HJHS baseball/softball spectators sit in the outfield. HHS tennis fans may sit in designated areas on the parking lot side. HHS/HJHS cross county and HHS golf spectators may observe from a distance and away from start and finish areas.
Thank you for all of your support in observing IDPH guidelines, so our student athletes may participate this season. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the HHS Activities/Athletics Office.
Good afternoon Herrin High School Families!
At this time, all Herrin High School students are classified as either (1) HYBRID learners who attend school in-person Monday-Thursday and remotely on Friday or (2) REMOTE learners who complete school 100% remotely Monday-Friday. In an attempt to clarify our attendance procedures for hybrid learners on Friday and ALL remote learners Monday-Friday, we are instituting the following policy going forward:
Beginning Friday, 8/21/2020, all hybrid learners and remote learners are expected to complete an attendance check-in question for each of their classes by 1:30 PM. Hybrid learners will only need to complete the attendance question on Friday. Remote learners will have an attendance question for EB, 1st, 2nd, Advisory, and 5th hours on Monday and Wednesday, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th hours on Tuesday and Thursday, and all classes on Friday. Students will be considered "absent" for any class in which the attendance check-in question is not answered by 1:30 PM.
The attendance check-in question will be outside of each teacher’s normally assigned material and provides a method for Herrin High School to streamline attendance for students learning away from school. Each teacher maintains the ability to assign due dates for assignments in Google Classroom and assign consequences aligned to our student handbook for late work.
We apologize for the confusion as we continue to evolve our procedures to best meet everyone’s needs during this unprecedented period. Stay safe!
