This is a reminder that Herrin High School's Spring 2021 semester begins tomorrow, Tuesday, January 5, with 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th hours. We will maintain the same bell/daily schedule as the fall semester. Student schedules are available via the PowerSchool Parent/Student portal or with your child's advisory teacher from 8:00-8:20 tomorrow morning.
We will have textbooks ready for remote learners to pickup on Wednesday, January 6 from 2:00-3:00 PM in the commons area.
If your son or daughter is transitioning back to in-person instruction, please send an email promptly to Mr. Mason at kris.mason@herrinschools.org or Mrs. Williams at amy.williams@herrinschools.org, so we can update our records.
Stay safe! #herrintigerpride

HHS Families,
We wanted to send a second reminder to everyone regarding our end of semester steps. [An additional responsibility has been added for seniors (Class of 2021) during textbook return.]
1) For remote learners, daily check-in for attendance is 1:30 PM. Absences will be assigned to those who do not check-in within their classes' Google Classroom.
2) Textbook return is Thursday, 12/10 from 1:30-3:00 PM and Friday, 12/11 from 9:30-11:00 AM. Please enter/exit Gym A from the north parking lot. Non-returned books fees will be assigned to student accounts for lost materials.
NEW: Seniors will be measured by Balfour for their caps and gowns during this time. ALL seniors must report to HHS on Thursday or Friday.
3) All assignments must be submitted by Friday, 12/11. Our guidance department will use Friday afternoon and winter break to reschedule students due to incomplete/failing grades. Students who fail an English or mathematics class will retake the course in the spring and may fall behind in their graduation progress. If a student does not pass 6 out of 7 classes this semester, he or she will be ineligible to participate in any extracurricular activity in the spring.
4) School resumes Tuesday, January 5. Please refer to PowerSchool for grade and Spring 2021 schedule information.
Please continue to reach out to us with questions. Stay safe!
HHS Families,
As we close out the semester, we wanted to share some important dates and times to remember. The majority of HHS's students have succeeded throughout this semester and deserve a HUGE shoutout for their resilience.
1) For remote learners, daily check-in for attendance is 1:30 PM. Absences will be assigned to those who do not check-in within their classes' Google Classroom.
2) Textbook return is Thursday, 12/10 from 1:30-3:00 PM and Friday, 12/11 from 9:30-11:00 AM. Please enter/exit Gym A from the north parking lot. Non-returned books fees will be assigned to student accounts for lost materials.

If a student does not pass 6 out of 7 classes this semester, he or she will be ineligible to participate in any extracurricular activity in the spring.
4) School resumes Tuesday, January 5. Schedules will be available in GYM A for students before school. However, we prefer that students refer to PowerSchool.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions. We hope everyone stays safe and enjoys the holidays.
Attention Athletes & Families:
Starting today, November 20th, Herrin CUSD #4 will pause all athletics due to Illinois being placed under Tier 3 mitigations. We will pass along more information as it becomes available.
Good afternoon HHS Families! We wanted to provide an update/clarification of our plans for the next two weeks.
For this week (week of 11/16/2020), we are proceeding as normal with our hybrid learning schedule. There are NO changes at this time. We look forward to seeing students in person tomorrow for 1st, 2nd, Advisory, and 5th hours.
For the following week (week of 11/23/2020), Herrin CUSD #4 will be using two Remote Learning Planning Days for our faculty. For our students, that means that there will be no in-person learning, new assignments assigned, or attendance taken on Monday, 11/23 and Tuesday, 11/24.
These plans are highly dependent upon the health of our faculty, staff, and students. We will be in touch if our schedule must change.
Please stay safe.
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.
Herrin High School students (16 and older) have the ability to receive their meningitis vaccine for free on Thursday, November 19. This vaccine is mandatory for all seniors and will satisfy that requirement. Please review/complete the attached information to participate. Thank you!
