REMOTE LEARNING: Every student remote delivery
During this time all instructional delivery and learning activities will take place remotely and online.
Instruction: 9-12
• All students will attend their core classes remotely through live Zoom or Google Meet sessions. (ELA, Math, Science, Social Science)
• Elective classes will move to live Zoom/Google Meet sessions or Edgenuity.
• For HS students, Wednesday is typically designated as a project based/competency delivery day with students checking in with their advisory teacher. This Wednesday, November 4th, all classes will meet without Flex Time or PBL time included. Please join classes as you would any other day of the week.
Attendance/Absences:
In order for a student to be excused for an absence (both in class and remotely), a parent/guardian must contact the school. If the school doesn’t receive a call and cannot verify the absence, the student will be marked as an unexcused absence.
• Students are expected to sign in to their designated Zoom/Google Meet sessions prior to the start of the class period (if live stream of instruction is happening).
• Cameras must be turned on in order to be counted for attendance.
• Students are expected to remain on the screen for the entire duration of the class.
If your HS student is exhibiting symptoms of illness, we ask that you please call the HS office to report those symptoms. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and healthy!

Good afternoon, the U S D 487 COVID team has determined that Herington schools will operate in the orange beginning Tuesday November 3rd. This means that, starting next Tuesday, Preschool through 8th grade students may continue to attend school in person. 9th-12th grade students will become remote learners for the upcoming week. This is a slight adjustment to the paperwork you received at the beginning of the year. More information regarding remote learning will be posted on the school’s website, Facebook page, and snail mailed to families of High school students. Please continue to practice social distancing and wearing a mask when in public.
November breakfast/lunch menu
The middle school staff members chose 6th grader, Reid Griffiths, as the October Student of the Month. Reid participates in football, wrestling, band, and swim team. Reid feels that he was chosen as the student of the month because he follows the expectations set by the school with social distancing and wearing a mask, he works hard in class and does his work, he is respectful to peers and his teachers, and he is involved in school and community activities.
Reid is the son of Darlene and Dwayne Griffiths.
Carrie Roe, the daughter of Kenny and Tammie Roe, has been awarded Student of the Month for October.
Carrie thinks she was selected because of her drive to do well. “In academics and athletics, I am constantly pushing myself to be a better person and leader for Herington High School.”
Throughout her high school years, Carrie has participated in Volleyball, Basketball, Track, FBLA, FFA, NHS, Band, Student Council, Drama Club, and serving as the Senior Class Vice President.
When asked, Mrs. Geissert said, “I don’t know of a student who is more complete. She has so many qualities that make her a wonderful student: great listener, compassionate, intelligent, empathetic, hard worker, kind, the list could go on. Congratulations, Carrie!”
Herington High School Football game scheduled for October 29th against Maranatha Academy has been cancelled!
