Music for Mental Health Concert

Friday, March 10, 2023 at 7:30pm in the HHS Auditorium

http://evite.me/XFdSafQPbA

You are invited to come hear a wonderful night of music shared by talented student singers and instrumentalists as they use their gifts to raise awareness and support for Our Minds Matter.

Our Minds Matter (OMM) is a student-led movement to change school culture around mental health. Since its founding in 2012, OMM has envisioned a world where all teens are equipped with mental health education, resources, and support so that they never die by suicide. OMM has worked toward this vision by building and supporting a network of student-led mental health clubs in middle and high schools. The organization is based in the DC-area, and supports over 100 clubs in this region, including at Herndon High School. 

Funds raised through the concert will benefit the greater OMM organization. To learn more and to make a donation to OMM, visit: https://bit.ly/omm-give

Academic Advising and Course Selection for 2023-24

Academic Advising Season has begun!  Starting in January 2023, students will meet individually with their school counselor to choose their courses for the 2023-24 school year. It is so important that parents and students are informed of their academic options. Families are encouraged to talk with current teachers for their recommendations for next school year.

After the students choose their courses via their accounts, they will meet with their counselor to confirm the selections.

It is important for students to choose a course load that will challenge them and help prepare them for their post-secondary endeavors while also allowing for balance with their extracurricular and personal commitments. We take academic advising and course selection seriously and encourage students to seek input from current teachers, school counselor, and their parents as they make course selections. It is important that your student base their choices on their strengths and interests and with their post-secondary plans in mind. 

The timeline for academic advising and course selection can be found here (English, Spanish).

Support Healthy Relationships with People and Substances

Relationships are important components in the development of living a fulfilling life. Valentine’s Day occurs in the month of February, causing a frenzy of purchases and planning between loved ones to show appreciation and love. Forming and maintaining healthy relationships is difficult but vital for those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Healthy relationships are a factor in helping people maintain sobriety (Addiction Center). Bonds and companionship provide emotional support and are effective in increasing health and wellbeing. Emotional support decreases fears and helps people to thrive.

There is value in healthy relationships. Healthy relationships help decrease the chances of people struggling with addictions from engaging in toxic attachments that create feelings of frustration, stress, and conflict. Negative attachments can bring out the worst in people and create feelings that can lead to increased use of alcohol and substance misuse and abuse. Positive relationships encourage growth, comfort, and the creation of emotional bonds that provide feelings of joy and support. Open communication and commitment are two of the best ways to foster the ideal type of relationships most people strive for.

Common values to develop in healthy relationships include:

  • honesty
  • reciprocity
  • effort
  • respect
  • safety & security
  • laughter
  • acceptance
  • healthy boundaries
  • unconditional love
  • friendship
  • non-judgmental

As the world celebrates love, it is important to do our part in the creation of positive partnerships, social circles, and healthy connections. Encourage the support and inspiration of those that may be silently vulnerable and struggling to feel safe.

WIDA Assessment

Current federal legislation requires that all English learners (ELs) participate annually in an English language proficiency assessment.  In the state of Virginia, all divisions use the WIDA Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State for English Language Learners®2.0 (ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0) to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English. ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is aligned with the WIDA English language development standards and assesses the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 

This year, the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs®, or the ELP Checklists will be given at Herndon High School from Monday, February 6, 2023, to Thursday, March 2, 2023. Students will receive their testing schedule via E-Mail this week. It will be helpful if you can avoid appointments which may take your child out of school during this time.  Also, it will help your child perform his or her best if he or she has had a good night’s rest, a healthy breakfast, and comes to school with a positive attitude. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Dr. Karl Gussow, our Assessment Coach. 

Additional information can be found on the FCPS ELP Assessment Parent Notification - WIDA and WIDA Screener page.

Events WIDA Assessment

Current federal legislation requires that all English learners (ELs) participate annually in an English language proficiency assessment.  In the state of Virginia, all divisions use the WIDA Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State for English Language Learners®2.0 (ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0) to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English. ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is aligned with the WIDA English language development standards and assesses the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 

This year, the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs®, or the ELP Checklists will be given at Herndon High School from Monday, February 6, 2023, to Thursday, March 2, 2023. Students will receive their testing schedule via E-Mail this week. It will be helpful if you can avoid appointments which may take your child out of school during this time.  Also, it will help your child perform his or her best if he or she has had a good night’s rest, a healthy breakfast, and comes to school with a positive attitude. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Dr. Karl Gussow, our Assessment Coach.

Academic Advising and Course Selection for 2023-24

Academic Advising Season has begun!  Starting in January 2023, students will meet individually with their school counselor to choose their courses for the 2023-24 school year. It is so important that parents and students are informed of their academic options. Families are encouraged to talk with current teachers for their recommendations for next school year. Just like last year, students will choose classes via their SIS Student accounts. After the students choose their courses via their accounts, they will meet with their counselor to confirm the selections. In January, parents can view the course selections via their SIS Parent account. If you do not have an active account, please contact Student Services to obtain a login.

It is important for students to choose a course load that will challenge them and help prepare them for their post-secondary endeavors while also allowing for balance with their extracurricular and personal commitments. We take academic advising and course selection seriously and encourage students to seek input from current teachers, school counselor, and their parents as they make course selections. It is important that your student base their choices on their strengths and interests and with their post-secondary plans in mind. 

The timeline for academic advising and course selection can be found here (English, Spanish).  

Rising Junior Academic Advising and Course Selection
  • February 06-14: School counselors will meet with rising juniors and sophomore ELLs Level 1 & 2 individually through their English 10 and ELD Level 2 classes to discuss graduation requirements, academic opportunities and course selection options. The schedule is available here.

Support Healthy Relationships with People and Substances

Relationships are important components in the development of living a fulfilling life. Valentine’s Day occurs in the month of February, causing a frenzy of purchases and planning between loved ones to show appreciation and love. Forming and maintaining healthy relationships is difficult but vital for those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Healthy relationships are a factor in helping people maintain sobriety (Addiction Center). Bonds and companionship provide emotional support and are effective in increasing health and wellbeing. Emotional support decreases fears and helps people to thrive.

There is value in healthy relationships. Healthy relationships help decrease the chances of people struggling with addictions from engaging in toxic attachments that create feelings of frustration, stress, and conflict. Negative attachments can bring out the worst in people and create feelings that can lead to increased use of alcohol and substance misuse and abuse. Positive relationships encourage growth, comfort, and the creation of emotional bonds that provide feelings of joy and support. Open communication and commitment are two of the best ways to foster the ideal type of relationships most people strive for.

Common values to develop in healthy relationships include:

  • honesty
  • reciprocity
  • effort
  • respect
  • safety & security
  • laughter
  • acceptance
  • healthy boundaries
  • unconditional love
  • friendship
  • non-judgmental

As the world celebrates love, it is important to do our part in the creation of positive partnerships, social circles, and healthy connections. Encourage the support and inspiration of those that may be silently vulnerable and struggling to feel safe.

Events WIDA Assessment

Current federal legislation requires that all English learners (ELs) participate annually in an English language proficiency assessment.  In the state of Virginia, all divisions use the WIDA Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State for English Language Learners®2.0 (ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0) to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English.  ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is administered annually to all kindergarten ELs and all students in grades 1-12 with an English language proficiency (ELP) level of 1-5. 

ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is aligned with the WIDA English language development standards and assesses the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  The assessment will:

  • Determine students’ English language proficiency level and eligibility for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) services and testing accommodations.
  • Help students and families understand students’ current level of ELP along the developmental continuum.
  • Provide teachers with information they can use to plan for and support student learning.
  • Assist in determining whether ELs have attained the language proficiency needed to participate meaningfully in content area classrooms without ESOL support.

Students participate annually in the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, even if ESOL services are declined, until they reach the criteria for ELP level 6 and are designated English proficient.

This year, the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs®, or the ELP Checklists will be given at Herndon High School from Monday, February 6, 2023, to Thursday, March 2, 2023. Students will receive their testing schedule via E-Mail this week. It will be helpful if you can avoid appointments which may take your child out of school during this time.  Also, it will help your child perform his or her best if he or she has had a good night’s rest, a healthy breakfast, and comes to school with a positive attitude.

Eating Disorder Parent Information

Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical illnesses that can affect people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes, and weights. While no one knows for sure what causes eating disorders, a growing consensus suggests that it is a range of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Eating disorders are not fads or phases, and can have serious consequences for health, productivity, and relationships.

In collaboration with the Fairfax County Health Department, FCPS has developed a webpage with detailed information and resources to be provided to parents and guardians of Fairfax County Public Schools. This information may be found at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/node/37440.

Academic Advising and Course Selection for 2023-24

Academic Advising Season has begun!  Starting in January 2023, students will meet individually with their school counselor to choose their courses for the 2023-24 school year. It is so important that parents and students are informed of their academic options. Families are encouraged to talk with current teachers for their recommendations for next school year. Just like last year, students will choose classes via their SIS Student accounts. After the students choose their courses via their accounts, they will meet with their counselor to confirm the selections. In January, parents can view the course selections via their SIS Parent account. If you do not have an active account, please contact Student Services to obtain a login.

It is important for students to choose a course load that will challenge them and help prepare them for their post-secondary endeavors while also allowing for balance with their extracurricular and personal commitments. We take academic advising and course selection seriously and encourage students to seek input from current teachers, school counselor, and their parents as they make course selections. It is important that your student base their choices on their strengths and interests and with their post-secondary plans in mind. 

The timeline for academic advising and course selection can be found here (English, Spanish).  

Rising Junior Events Academic Advising and Course Selection
  • February 06-14 - School counselors will meet with rising juniors and sophomore ELLs Level 1 & 2 individually through their English 10 and ELD Level 2 classes to discuss graduation requirements, academic opportunities and course selection options. The schedule is available here.

Support How to Talk About Alcohol Safety

Stores have been packed with holiday savings, credit cards have been charged, and food has been consumed. The holidays are often a time for family and friends to come together and create lasting memories with one another. The matching holiday pajamas leave a lasting impression on social media, but what impression does your relationship with alcohol leave on your child. Although difficult, conversations about alcohol safety are necessary. When consuming alcoholic beverages around young people, consider the message you would like for them to receive. Have you caught yourself saying any of the following: “I need a drink,” “a drink would help me relax,” or “wine helps me sleep better at night”. These statements could inadvertently cause your child to believe that alcohol is a suitable replacement for healthy coping strategies.

It’s never too early to have age-appropriate conversations with your child about alcohol. About 10% of children say they have tried alcohol and that number increases to 50% by the time they are 15 (SAMHSA). Early and frequent conversations about alcohol and other drugs tend to be more effective than having “the talk” once. If you choose to not have the conversation with your child as a parent, they will still have the conversion with their peers. Silence communicates as loudly as a verbal conversation, so it’s up to you to decide what message is explicitly shared.

For general questions about the FCPS Substance Abuse Prevention Program, please contact the Office of Student Safety & Wellness at: (571) 423-4270.

The goal is to have the final strategic plan by June 2023. Learn more about our strategic planning process here. (link: https://www.fcps.edu/strategicplanning) If you can’t join the Dranesville Forum, please check out the schedule of Community Forums, including several virtual options, and register for one that is most convenient for you.

What Happens at a Strategic Planning Community Forum?
  • Community Forums will provide families, students, staff, and community members with an opportunity to review student achievement, access, and perception data and identify both strengths and challenges within the data.
  • Working in small groups, participants will use research-based goals as a framework to transition their observations into recommended goals for the strategic plan that are focused on our desired future state for students.
  • As a culminating activity, participants will identify the one guarantee they would like FCPS to make regarding our students’ education.
  • The data from the Community Forums will be synthesized and that information will be shared with the Core Planning Team to incorporate those recommendations into finalized strategic plan goals.
What Can I Do to Prepare?

It's not necessary to do anything in advance. We want you to bring your thoughts and experiences to the discussion. If you'd like to review in advance, the data reports shared at the Community Forums are available on the Strategic Planning website.

WIDA Assessment

Current federal legislation requires that all English learners (ELs) participate annually in an English language proficiency assessment.  In the state of Virginia, all divisions use the WIDA Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State for English Language Learners®2.0 (ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0) to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English.  ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is administered annually to all kindergarten ELs and all students in grades 1-12 with an English language proficiency (ELP) level of 1-5. 

ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0 is aligned with the WIDA English language development standards and assesses the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  The assessment will:

  • Determine students’ English language proficiency level and eligibility for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) services and testing accommodations.
  • Help students and families understand students’ current level of ELP along the developmental continuum.
  • Provide teachers with information they can use to plan for and support student learning.
  • Assist in determining whether ELs have attained the language proficiency needed to participate meaningfully in content area classrooms without ESOL support.

Students participate annually in the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, even if ESOL services are declined, until they reach the criteria for ELP level 6 and are designated English proficient.

This year, the ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs®, or the ELP Checklists will be given at Herndon High School from Monday, February 6, 2023, to Thursday, March 2, 2023. Students will receive their testing schedule via E-Mail this week. It will be helpful if you can avoid appointments which may take your child out of school during this time.  Also, it will help your child perform his or her best if he or she has had a good night’s rest, a healthy breakfast, and comes to school with a positive attitude. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Dr. Karl Gussow, our Assessment Coach.

Additional information can be found on the FCPS ELP Assessment Parent Notification - WIDA and WIDA Screener page.

Asesoramiento académico y selección de cursos para 2023-24

¡Comenzó la temporada de Asesoramiento Académico! A partir de enero de 2023, los estudiantes se reunirán individualmente con su consejero escolar para elegir sus cursos para el año escolar 2023-24. Es muy importante que los padres y los estudiantes estén informados de sus opciones académicas. Se alienta a las familias a hablar con los maestros actuales para obtener sus recomendaciones para el próximo año escolar. Al igual que el año pasado, los estudiantes elegirán clases a través de sus cuentas de estudiante SIS. Después de que los estudiantes elijan sus cursos a través de sus cuentas, se reunirán con su consejero para confirmar las selecciones. En enero, los padres pueden ver las selecciones de cursos a través de su cuenta de padres de SIS. Si no tiene una cuenta activa, comuníquese con Servicios Estudiantiles para obtener un inicio de sesión.

Es importante que los estudiantes elijan una carga de cursos que los desafíe y los ayude a prepararse para sus esfuerzos posteriores a la secundaria, al mismo tiempo que les permite equilibrar sus compromisos extracurriculares y personales. Tomamos en serio el asesoramiento académico y la selección de cursos y alentamos a los estudiantes a buscar la opinión de los maestros actuales, el consejero escolar y sus padres al momento de seleccionar los cursos. Es importante que su estudiante base sus elecciones en sus fortalezas e intereses y tenga en mente sus planes postsecundarios.

El cronograma para el asesoramiento académico y la selección de cursos se puede encontrar aquí (inglés , español).

Rising Asesoramiento Académico Superior y Selección de Cursos
  • 13-30 de enero - Los consejeros escolares se reunirán individualmente con los estudiantes de último año y junior ELL Nivel 1 y 2 a través de sus clases de Inglés 11 y ELD Nivel 3 para analizar los requisitos de graduación, las oportunidades académicas y las opciones de selección de cursos.

Asesoramiento académico y selección de cursos para 2023-24

¡Comenzó la temporada de Asesoramiento Académico! A partir de enero de 2023, los estudiantes se reunirán individualmente con su consejero escolar para elegir sus cursos para el año escolar 2023-24. Es muy importante que los padres y los estudiantes estén informados de sus opciones académicas. Se alienta a las familias a hablar con los maestros actuales para obtener sus recomendaciones para el próximo año escolar. Al igual que el año pasado, los estudiantes elegirán clases a través de sus cuentas de estudiante SIS. Después de que los estudiantes elijan sus cursos a través de sus cuentas, se reunirán con su consejero para confirmar las selecciones. En enero, los padres pueden ver las selecciones de cursos a través de su cuenta de padres de SIS. Si no tiene una cuenta activa, comuníquese con Servicios Estudiantiles para obtener un inicio de sesión.

Es importante que los estudiantes elijan una carga de cursos que los desafíe y los ayude a prepararse para sus esfuerzos posteriores a la secundaria, al mismo tiempo que les permite equilibrar sus compromisos extracurriculares y personales. Tomamos en serio el asesoramiento académico y la selección de cursos y alentamos a los estudiantes a buscar la opinión de los maestros actuales, el consejero escolar y sus padres al momento de seleccionar los cursos. Es importante que su estudiante base sus elecciones en sus fortalezas e intereses y tenga en mente sus planes postsecundarios.

El cronograma para el asesoramiento académico y la selección de cursos se puede encontrar aquí ( inglés , español ).

Rising Asesoramiento Académico Superior y Selección de Cursos

  Recursos De nuestro Especialista en Prevención de Abuso de Sustancias Resoluciones de Año Nuevo

En diciembre, muchas personas se dirigirán a su Target o Michaels local para encontrar un nuevo planificador. La sensación nítida y fresca de papel nuevo para escribir objetivos nuevos y mejorados nos emociona a algunos de nosotros. Cuando piense en sus objetivos, considere hacerlos SMART (específicos, medibles, alcanzables, relevantes y con límites de tiempo), este método divide sus objetivos en objetivos específicos y le facilita el seguimiento de su progreso. ¿Qué objetivos le gustaría compartir con su hijo, para mostrarle ejemplos de introspección adulta saludable? La introspección, mirar hacia adentro, es necesaria para aprender a manejar el estrés de manera saludable. ¿Qué habilidades regulares de afrontamiento se pueden implementar en su rutina diaria/semanal? Algunas metas pueden ser físicas, espirituales, financieras o emocionales. ¿Sería más fácil tener conversaciones serias durante una cena familiar? O tal vez las cenas familiares regulares, despierten la alegría y la conexión que a menudo falta.

Las investigaciones han demostrado que la terapia familiar es la mejor opción de tratamiento para los jóvenes que abusan de las drogas y el alcohol (SAMHSA). Mucha gente usa drogas para manejar las dificultades de la vida cuando se siente desconectada de sí misma o de los demás. Lo opuesto a la adicción es la conexión, y los jóvenes se benefician de la conexión con sus familias. Las familias que tienen una misión común basada en la autonomía y la apertura en lugar del secreto y el silencio prosperan. Las familias enseñan a los jóvenes cómo manejar el estrés cuando se comunican honesta y abiertamente entre sí. Aprender a manejar el estrés en una etapa temprana de la vida podría ser un factor importante para que un joven decida consumir drogas o no.

Si tiene preguntas generales sobre el Programa de Prevención de Abuso de Sustancias de FCPS, comuníquese con la Oficina de Seguridad y Bienestar de los Estudiantes al: (571) 423-4270.

  Resources From our Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist New Year’s Resolutions

In December, many people will head to their local Target or Michaels to find a new planner. The crisp, fresh feeling of new paper to write new and improved goals gets some of us excited. When thinking of your goals consider making them SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound), this method breaks your goals down into specific objectives and makes it easier for you to track your progress. What goals would you like to share with your child, to show them examples of healthy adult introspection? Introspection, looking within, is necessary to learn how to manage stress in a healthy manner. What regular coping skills can be implemented into your daily/ weekly routine? Some goals may be physical, spiritual, financial, or emotional. Would it be easier to have serious conversations over a family dinner? Or maybe regular family dinners, spark joy and connection that’s often missing. 

Research has shown that family therapy is the best treatment option for young people who misuse drugs and alcohol (SAMHSA). Many people use drugs to manage life’s hardships when they feel disconnected from themselves or others. The opposite of addiction is connection, and young people benefit from connection with their families. Families who have a common mission based on autonomy and openness instead of secrecy and silence thrive. Families teach young people how to manage stress when they communicate honestly and openly with one another. Learning how to manage stress early in life could be a major factor in whether or not a young person decides to use drugs.

  Eventos Asesoramiento académico y selección de cursos para 2023-24

¡Comenzó la temporada de Asesoramiento Académico! A partir de enero de 2023, los estudiantes se reunirán individualmente con su consejero escolar para elegir sus cursos para el año escolar 2023-24. Es muy importante que los padres y los estudiantes estén informados de sus opciones académicas. Se alienta a las familias a hablar con los maestros actuales para obtener sus recomendaciones para el próximo año escolar. Al igual que el año pasado, los estudiantes elegirán clases a través de sus cuentas de estudiante SIS. Después de que los estudiantes elijan sus cursos a través de sus cuentas, se reunirán con su consejero para confirmar las selecciones. En enero, los padres pueden ver las selecciones de cursos a través de su cuenta de padres de SIS. Si no tiene una cuenta activa, comuníquese con Servicios Estudiantiles para obtener un inicio de sesión.

Es importante que los estudiantes elijan una carga de cursos que los desafíe y los ayude a prepararse para sus esfuerzos posteriores a la secundaria, al mismo tiempo que les permite equilibrar sus compromisos extracurriculares y personales. Tomamos en serio el asesoramiento académico y la selección de cursos y alentamos a los estudiantes a buscar la opinión de los maestros actuales, el consejero escolar y sus padres al momento de seleccionar los cursos. Es importante que su estudiante base sus elecciones en sus fortalezas e intereses y tenga en mente sus planes postsecundarios.

Establecer las condiciones para el uso saludable de la tecnología en el hogar y la escuela 12 de enero a las 7 p. m. - Sala de conferencias del HHS

Descripción: La tecnología puede ser una herramienta poderosa para conectarnos con amigos y familiares, así como fomentar la creatividad y el aprendizaje. Pero cuando no existen normas saludables, también puede generar malos hábitos y crear tensión entre padres e hijos. Muchos de los enfoques de los que escuchamos (límites de tiempo de pantalla, programas contra el ciberacoso, etc.), si bien tienen buenas intenciones, en realidad pueden dificultar que los jóvenes aprendan a ser ciudadanos digitales responsables. En esta conversación, el experto en medios digitales Richard Culatta compartirá investigaciones y consejos prácticos de su nuevo libro Digital For Good (Harvard Business Press) sobre cómo crear un entorno saludable para que los jóvenes crezcan y prosperen en un mundo digital.

  Recursos De nuestro Especialista en Prevención de Abuso de Sustancias Resoluciones de Año Nuevo

En diciembre, muchas personas se dirigirán a su Target o Michaels local para encontrar un nuevo planificador. La sensación nítida y fresca de papel nuevo para escribir objetivos nuevos y mejorados nos emociona a algunos de nosotros. Cuando piense en sus objetivos, considere hacerlos SMART (específicos, medibles, alcanzables, relevantes y con límites de tiempo), este método divide sus objetivos en objetivos específicos y le facilita el seguimiento de su progreso. ¿Qué objetivos le gustaría compartir con su hijo, para mostrarle ejemplos de introspección adulta saludable? La introspección, mirar hacia adentro, es necesaria para aprender a manejar el estrés de manera saludable. ¿Qué habilidades regulares de afrontamiento se pueden implementar en su rutina diaria/semanal? Algunas metas pueden ser físicas, espirituales, financieras o emocionales. ¿Sería más fácil tener conversaciones serias durante una cena familiar? O tal vez las cenas familiares regulares, despierten la alegría y la conexión que a menudo falta.

Las investigaciones han demostrado que la terapia familiar es la mejor opción de tratamiento para los jóvenes que abusan de las drogas y el alcohol (SAMHSA). Mucha gente usa drogas para manejar las dificultades de la vida cuando se siente desconectada de sí misma o de los demás. Lo opuesto a la adicción es la conexión, y los jóvenes se benefician de la conexión con sus familias. Las familias que tienen una misión común basada en la autonomía y la apertura en lugar del secreto y el silencio prosperan. Las familias enseñan a los jóvenes cómo manejar el estrés cuando se comunican honesta y abiertamente entre sí. Aprender a manejar el estrés en una etapa temprana de la vida podría ser un factor importante para que un joven decida consumir drogas o no.

Si tiene preguntas generales sobre el Programa de Prevención de Abuso de Sustancias de FCPS, comuníquese con la Oficina de Seguridad y Bienestar de los Estudiantes al: (571) 423-4270.

  Events Academic Advising and Course Selection for 2023-24

Academic Advising Season has begun! Starting January 2023, students will meet individually with their school counselor to choose their courses for the 2023-24 school year. It is so important that parents and students are informed of their academic options. Families are encouraged to talk with current teachers for their recommendations for next school year. Just like last year, students will choose classes via their SIS Student accounts. After the students choose their courses via their accounts, they will meet with their counselor to confirm the selections. In January, parents can view the course selections via their SIS Parent account. If you do not have an active account, please contact Student Services to obtain a login.

It is important for students to choose a course load that will challenge them and help prepare them for their post-secondary endeavors while also allowing for balance with their extracurricular and personal commitments. We take academic advising and course selection seriously and encourage students to seek input from current teachers, school counselor, and their parents as they make course selections. It is important that your student base their choices on their strengths and interests and with their post-secondary plans in mind. 

The timeline for academic advising and course selection can be found here (English, Spanish).

Setting the Conditions for Healthy Tech Use at Home and School January 12 at 7pm - HHS Lecture Hall

Description: Technology can be a powerful tool to connect us with friends and family as well as encourage creativity and learning.  But when healthy norms are not in place, it can also lead to bad habits and create tension between parents and children.  Many of the approaches we hear about (screen-time limits, anti-cyberbullying programs, etc.), while well intentioned, can actually make it harder for young people to learn to be responsible digital citizens.  In this conversation, digital media expert Richard Culatta will share research and practical tips from his new book Digital For Good (Harvard Business Press) on how to create a healthy environment for young people growing up to thrive in a digital world.

  Resources From our Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist New Year’s Resolutions

In December, many people will head to their local Target or Michaels to find a new planner. The crisp, fresh feeling of new paper to write new and improved goals gets some of us excited. When thinking of your goals consider making them SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound), this method breaks your goals down into specific objectives and makes it easier for you to track your progress. What goals would you like to share with your child, to show them examples of healthy adult introspection? Introspection, looking within, is necessary to learn how to manage stress in a healthy manner. What regular coping skills can be implemented into your daily/ weekly routine? Some goals may be physical, spiritual, financial, or emotional. Would it be easier to have serious conversations over a family dinner? Or maybe regular family dinners, spark joy and connection that’s often missing. 

Research has shown that family therapy is the best treatment option for young people who misuse drugs and alcohol (SAMHSA). Many people use drugs to manage life’s hardships when they feel disconnected from themselves or others. The opposite of addiction is connection, and young people benefit from connection with their families. Families who have a common mission based on autonomy and openness instead of secrecy and silence thrive. Families teach young people how to manage stress when they communicate honestly and openly with one another. Learning how to manage stress early in life could be a major factor in whether or not a young person decides to use drugs.

Esta semana en atletismo 2022-2023 Impulsores deportivos de la escuela secundaria Herndon ¿Por qué unirse a Sports Boosters? 

Los programas atléticos en todas las escuelas del condado de Fairfax se financian con los recibos de entrada y los clubes deportivos. El condado solo cubre el costo de los entrenadores, los oficiales del juego y el transporte. Los fondos proporcionados por Sports Boosters Club son vitales para apoyar los programas deportivos de Herndon High. . En cualquier año presupuestario, es importante que el Sports Boosters Club se mantenga fuerte. Le pedimos que sea un defensor del Sports Boosters Club y que muestre su apoyo a esta valiosa organización y a nuestros estudiantes atletas. También le pedimos que anime a otros padres de los equipos de su hijo a unirse.
