Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with some reminders.
 We were so excited to see you today at Meet Your Teachers!
 If possible, please start your child on his or her regular transportation tomorrow. All students
grades 1-8 start tomorrow. Kindergarten students will come on their assigned day. Since we
are on a regular schedule tomorrow, parents will not walk their children to class. Please do not
worry; we will get all bus riders and car riders to their homeroom class. Please make sure your
child knows how they are getting home tomorrow. K-2 students will have backpack tags.
Please do not remove these. If there are changes during the year, please let your homeroom
teacher know.
 Parents, please call your bus driver to verify pick-up times at your bus stop. Some of the times
on the Transportation Website may not be correct. If you ride Mrs. Angella Spears’ bus, she
will be in Bus #55, and we believe that Mrs. Sonya Tyson will be in Bus #86.
 As you visit the new website at herndonmagnet.caddoschools.org , please note that many
important items are under the “Documents” tab. Under documents, you can find the dress
code, supply lists, summer reading, and the PaySchools information, and uniform
requirements.
 You may begin paying class fees tomorrow. Along with class fees, grades 1-8 pay a student
agenda and technology fee. Kindergarten pays class fees and only the technology fee because
they do not use the student agenda.
 Personalized Herndon water bottles are on sell now at www.locallevelevents.com. I will Jtext
out a link this evening.
 All K-8 car riders will be dropped off and picked up at the north turnaround. Please have your
car riders’ name or names posted on the passenger side window. K-2 grades will start coming
out at 3:15 PM, grades 3-5 at 3:20 PM, and middle school at 3:25 PM. Please be patient with
us the first few weeks of school with bus and car riders. If any adjustments need to be made to
make the flow of traffic better, we will let you know.
 Thank you for entrusting your children with us, and thank you for all that you do for your
children. We are expecting an awesome year!
 Please visit Herndon’s new website at herndonmagnet.caddoschools.org or the Herndon
Facebook page for additional information about upcoming activities and events.
