Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with Herndon Highlights for the week of March 20, 2023.
• I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break! We look forward to seeing all students back tomorrow, March 20.
• The fourth nine weeks reporting period begins tomorrow and ends on May 18, 2023.
• The Lady Hawks Soccer Team will play their last game of the season at Airline High School Stadium tomorrow at 5:30 PM.
• There will be a 4-H meeting for 4th and 5th grade members on Tuesday, March 21.
• Third nine weeks’ report cards will be sent home Friday, March 24.
• Friday, March 24, is a Spirit Day at Herndon. Students may only wear jeans or jean shorts that are no more than four inches above the knees all the way around. Jeans and jean shorts cannot have holes, rips, or tears in them that show skin or any clothing underneath. Students may wear any Herndon Spirit shirt on Friday.
• This last nine weeks will be full of activities and events. One of the events that means so much to the school and the faculty and staff is LEAP testing. The dates for LEAP testing for grades 3-8 are April 26-28 and May 1-2. The students and teachers have worked diligently, and we believe that everyone’s hard work will once again result in Herndon having a “School Performance Score” of an A. We also believe that we will again be named a Louisiana Top Gains School, a Caddo Gains School, and an Opportunity Honoree. We know that none of this would be possible without your support, and I could never say thank you enough.
• 2023-2024 magnet contracts for current K-7th grade students will come home soon. Please remember that contracts are not valid until a final evaluation of each student’s academics, attendance, behavior, and participation in all required testing are reviewed at the end of the 22-23 school year, along with the principal’s signature.
• An 8th Grade donation account has been set up at locallevelevents.com to help pay for the end of the year 8thgrade activities.
• Thank you for your continued support of activities, events, and fundraisers at Herndon.
• Please visit Herndon’s website at herndonmagnet.caddoschools.org or the Herndon Facebook page for additional information about upcoming activities and events.
