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 January 9, 2023.
• Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year break. We are looking forward to seeing all students back tomorrow!
• Since we are starting a new nine weeks and a new semester, I wanted to remind you of how important attendance is for the success of your student. Students need to be here each day, and on time, so that they are not missing vital learning time. As we prepare for LEAP testing on April 26-28 and May 1-2, and to keep our A rating, we need your assistance and support with attendance. If there is anything that we can do to help in this area, please reach out.
