Since the return from Spring Break, HHS students have taken part in morning advisory activities in the gym. The goal is to create a close, welcoming, and supportive culture at HHS. Students and their advisors participate in activities ranging from trivia to riddles to charades. Students are also recognized daily for their achievements in clubs, sports, and positive influence in the school. #Railerproud
Mrs. Beames's fifth grade class created their own volume cities! #GameOnRailers

HES Families: We are going to go ahead and move Lunch on the Lawn indoors because of the cool temperature and chance for rain in the forecast. We will have seating in the cafe and the gym for our visitors and students. #GameOnRailers
Senior Spotlight
HES Families: We are hoping that you all will still join us for lunch today! Mr. Batchman kindly offered to use some of his classroom gym space if it begins to rain or it's too wet outside and we have to move Lunch on the Lawn indoors. #GameOnRailers
Studio 24, aka HHS Broadcasting Club, traveled to Hesston High School to tour the facilities and get some pointers from their Broadcasting Class (Swather Sports Network). Special thanks to the students and their teacher, Katie Gaston!
Here is the schedule of events for the HHS track meet at St. Mary's on Friday. There have been some changes. There will be no preliminaries in the running events. The 4x8 relay will start at 5:00pm.
A big thank you to Dickinson County Transitions Coalition and the many area businesses who came to HHS to participate in the Job Fair. The experience for our students and the awareness of what jobs may be available for them over the summer was valuable and your willingness to give of your time was much appreciated.

Free Kindergarten Round-Up at Herington Elementary School
Kindergarten Round-Up in the Herington School District will be Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023 from 5:30-6:00 at Herington Elementary School. Your child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2023 in order to attend Kindergarten next term.
Prospective students and their parents are encouraged to attend Kindergarten Round-Up and become informed and prepared for your child’s Kindergarten year. Students and families will have the opportunity to meet staff members and hear some important information for next year.
Parents will have some time to fill out enrollment forms and go over medical information with the school nurse. Parents are asked to bring their child’s state-certified birth certificate, immunization records, and a recent health assessment (if available).
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
