A Message from Mrs. Ormsbee
Greetings Herbison Woods Families!
I hope you are enjoying your last few days of summer vacation! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone next week at our open house on Wednesday, August 23 from 5:00 - 6:00! As a reminder, we will also have time available for self-guided tours on Friday, August 25 from 8:00 - 5:00.
Our front office will be open next week from 8:00 - 3:00, with the exception of Tuesday. Due to professional development, our front office will be open from 12:00 - 3:00 on Tuesday. If your child will be taking medication at school, you will be able to drop it off during this time, as well as at Open House.
Lockers will be new to our incoming fourth grade students this year. Lockers will be assigned at the beginning of the school year, and will not be available at Open House. Teachers and staff will be spending time practicing their locker combinations the first few weeks of school. We will have staff ready to support students as they need.
Below you will find some important information about the start of the school year. The slideshow below will introduce some of our school staff, give an overview of the school, and outline some of our daily procedures.
I am excited to have the opportunity to be a partner in your child's education. Please reach out if there is anything I can do to support your child! I am looking forward to an amazing school year!
Sincerely,
Alicia Ormsbee
Principal
