Dear Parent/guardians,
The Illinois Department of Public Health mandates that children at a specific age and grade levels receive vision and hearing screening from a certified technician or nurse. The children in these categories are required by law to be screened: Pre-K through 3rd grade, 8th grade, students new to the district, students specifically referred by a teacher, and students receiving special education services. HJHS will be providing vision and hearing screening services for those specified students. These screenings will be performed at the school beginning next week. If the screening technician determines that your child may have a vision or hearing problem that needs further evaluation, you will receive a notification letter in the mail regarding the next steps and recommendations. If you do not want your student screened due to a Religious Objection, please send a signed letter stating this to the school with your student on Monday November 18th.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the school nurse at 618-942-5603.
HJHS will dismiss at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4th for the HHS Homecoming Parade. Spirit week starts tomorrow!
Our very own Huntar Lee (of North Side Primary) and Anthony Cawthon (of Herrin Junior High) have been chosen as recipients of the 2024-2025 School-Based Mental Health Training and Support Program! This grant, awarded in partnership with Dr. Matt Buckman and Dr. Martha Weld from the Stress and Trauma Treatment Center, will afford Lee and Cawthon the opportunity to earn their PEL licensure as well as mentorships through Dr. Buckman's organization. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to our program!
HJHS will have picture retakes on Sept. 9th. Also, students and staff who didn't get pictures made at registration will get pictures made.
