If you do not receive your son’s/daughter’s report card before mid-winter break (February 15-19), please call the principal’s office at 866-2230 to verify your mailing address and request a copy. Grades may also be viewed beginning February 4 th using Parent Portal on our school’s website, www.herkimercsd.org. If you have concerns regarding your child’s grades, please do not hesitate to be in contact with their teachers. Consistent and punctual attendance is an essential component of education. The hab- its our children form as adolescents help shape who they become as adults. I am hop- ing to reinforce the importance of being on time for “work,” since school is really their job right now. I ask for your support as we address an issue that has a lasting impact on the quality of their education. The District’s Attendance Policy is enclosed for your reference. We have been able to sustain numerous extracurricular opportunities for our students, and I am grateful for the service they provide to our school community. Thank you to the Student Council for sponsoring the Winter Weekend Dance and the Outdoors Club for sponsoring a Red Cross Blood Drive the first week of February. There is currently a severe blood shortage, so please consider donating blood this Thursday, 2/4, 9-2 PM. We are fortunate to offer a new slate of half-credit electives for high school students this spring. Digital Graphics and Psychology are two of eight College Now courses we offer. We also have Current Events, Creative Writing, Regional Foods, Journal- ism, Rock & Roll Literature, Meteorology, Clothing & Design, Beginning Piano, Painting, and Ceramics. Classes have already begun, so have your child inquire im- mediately. I am hoping to plan a Herkimer “Grad Day” in March, where we invite recent grads to return to HHS to share their experiences and advice with current high school stu- dents. If you know a recent (2012-2015) Herkimer graduate who might be willing to join us, please have them contact me by phone or email to let me know when they will be home, so that we may select a date that works for many students who are home during their spring college break. I am eager to show our current students that there is life after Herkimer High School, and that Herkimer grads can do great things! As always, feel free to call the junior/senior high school office at 866-2230 if you have questions or concerns. Educationally yours, Ms. Mary A. Tomaso, Principal
