Good morning HHS families! This is a follow-up to Dr. Ryker's message yesterday regarding the possibility that Herrin schools may transition to remote learning for ALL students.
First, if any HHS student remains in need of a Chromebook or home internet access, please see Mr. Mason this afternoon from 1:00-2:00 PM or next week.
Also, we expect to run our daily schedule Mon-Thurs 8:20-12:15 via Google Meets. For all learners, 1st, 2nd, Adv, & 5th Hours will meet live M/W, and 3rd, 4th, 6th, & 7th hours will meet live Tue/Th. Teachers will post links in their Google Classrooms with instructions on how to access their individual Google Meet. Friday's schedule will remain as-is.
We appreciate everyone's understanding during these crazy times.
Please stay safe, and expect more frequent communication from us as additional information becomes available.

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
