Announcements for December 13-17, 2021
Spirit Week | It’s the last week before Winter Break and we aim to celebrate by dressing in the following themes:
Thanks for participating! |
HHS Water Bottles | Did you know that we installed four bottle filling stations with filters to HHS? In addition, we also have blue and red Hermitage Panther water bottles on sale for only $5! Hydration is key! |
Masks | Class of 2023! Your masks are in and are on sale for only $10! Stop by the main office to purchase! |
Attendance | Attendance matters. Did you know that students can not miss more than 10% of the instructional days? If you missed 6 days of school so far, you are considered chronically absent. Please bring in a doctor’s note if you have unexcused absences and remember to come to school every day! HHS is currently at 32% absenteeism so far. Thanks for your assistance! |
Winter Band Concert | Please join us Thursday at 7:00 for our Winter Concert! Our students have worked tirelessly to prepare for this event and we hope to see you there! |
Traffic Safety Plan | As we attempt to maintain safety and minimize congregating of students, please remember the following:
|
Deliveries | This is a reminder that we are not accepting any food deliveries at HHS during the school day. This includes DoorDash, GrubHub, and Parent drop off. All students eat for free and we are unable to determine the safety of the contents of items dropped off for students. Thanks for understanding and working with us. |
Clinic Information | Seniors! Please provide your Meningococcal vaccine information to Nurse Tyree as soon as possible!
Parents, we urge you to bring all medication to the clinic. If your student was previously on medication last school year, please connect with Nurse Smith to discuss all updates. |
Access to Online Forms | Please visit “The Connection,” to obtain information to assist with gaining access to the following forms.

HHS Athletics | You can now buy tickets online for all Hermitage athletic events.
We encourage everyone to support our student athletes and view the VHSL schedule for this week. |
Seniors | Please review the following information so that you are aware of important dates!
Senior Parents – Is your student planning on attending college next year? If so you will need to fill out your FAFSA form! This is the federal application for student aid which is MONEY FOR COLLEGE!

Appointments will be every 30 minutes, but please sign up for 2 slots if you will attend along with your student. Appointment times will be on Tuesdays from 9am -2pm.
