Principal Reflections from the Hive

This week, our Herndon Elementary community experienced a significant loss. Our thoughts remain with the family and all who are grieving.

We recognize that students and adults may process loss in different ways. We have worked closely with Region 1 and central office to ensure appropriate counseling and support services are available. Our school counselors remain available to assist any student who may need additional support. If you believe your child would benefit from speaking with someone, please contact our main office so we can help connect you.

School routines continue to provide important stability for our students, and our teachers are supporting children with care and flexibility. I am deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism our staff and families have shown this week.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for the care you extend to our school community.
