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.

In order to address a few minor technical issues, we have temporally had to suspend student Google accounts. We will have everything up and running tomorrow morning and no one will be penalized. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Good afternoon Herrin Junior High School Families! I wanted to send a quick update out to those families who have selected remote learning for this semester.
1) Students will need to check their @herrinschools.org email. Teachers have begun enrolling students in their Google Classrooms, and students will need to accept that invitation for each class. Also, if you need access to the student Google account, please send an email to techdesk@herrinschools.org.
2) Meetings with teachers may vary between live, in-person, and recorded for you to watch on your own time.
3) Assignments and projects will be due for remote learning students on or about the same time as students who are in-class. (There will be some leeway this coming week as we establish times for book pick-up.)
4) Attendance will be taken each day that a class meets including all classes on Friday. Attendance is the remote learning student's responsibility to ensure contact.
A "contact" may be a message to the teacher in Google Classroom, the submission of an assignment, or a wellness "check-in" Google Form created by the teacher. Failure to check in results in an absence.
We will release additional information next week to let you know when you will be able to pick up books and needed materials for this semester.
Stay safe and, most importantly, in touch with us!
