Registration is required and we are requesting you please call Herington Elementary School at 785-258-3234 to confirm your appointment for Kindergarten Round-Up. Current HES Kindergarten students will have a regular school day with Kindergarten continuing to be in session on Wednesday, May 3rd.
HES Families: Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up soon and we are wanting to express our gratitude to the amazing staff we have at HES. The HES PTO and USD487 Administrative Team will be putting together our “Treat Train” for all of our HES staff to select items from during Teacher Appreciation Week. If any parents or community members would like to add any items to the “Treat Train” that would be greatly appreciated. Gift cards to local businesses, candles, jewelry, snacks, drinks, and any other items similar to this would be terrific. Please drop off items in the front office anytime before Thursday, May 11th. Thank you! #GameOnRailers
