Phase 5 of COVID-19 vaccination efforts is open. Junior and Senior students will receive a survey, in their school email, to indicate their interest in receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. If enough interest is generated, the Dickinson County Health Department will schedule a school-based clinic for administration. We encourage all families to have a conversation about this opportunity and have your student complete the survey.

Friendly Reminder: The Herington Elementary School Kindergarten Round-Up will be Monday, April 5, 2021. The child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2021 to attend Kindergarten next term. Prospective students and their parents are encouraged to attend Kindergarten Round-Up to become informed and prepared for your child’s Kindergarten year.
Each student will be given an assessment to indicate their level of readiness for Kindergarten. The screening will focus on motor skills, concepts, social/emotional skills and language. During this time, parents will fill out the enrollment form and go over medical information with the school nurse. Parents are asked to bring their child’s state-certified birth certificate, immunization records, and a recent health assessment (if available).
Appointments are required and will occur at Herington Elementary School. Please call Herington Elementary School at 785-258-3234 to schedule an appointment for Monday, April 5. The process will take approximately a half an hour.
