Good evening, based on increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in our community, the U S D 487 COVID team decided that Herington Elementary school students will be remote learners beginning Monday November 16th. Students will not report to school that day. Teachers will be contacting families to arrange for delivery of learning materials and computers on Monday. Students will stay in remote learning until November 24th. Meals are available while we are in remote learning.

Mrs. Linda Polston was surprised when she discovered that her class had been crashed on Wednesday, Nov. 4 while she was in a meeting. During the crash, students made cards for Mrs. Polston and recorded special messages for her. Mrs. Polston has been substituting for Mrs. Amy Gutsch since the beginning of the school year and has made a great impression on students and staff. Class Crash is an opportunity for Herington Schools to recognize teachers for their outstanding dedication and talents for educating our students. One teacher will be recognized each quarter for their work. Mrs. Polston's Class Crash - https://youtu.be/-2v54pW-z84
