The “grant patrol” visited Herty this morning. We are excited to be the recipient of one grant winner, James Wade, Bit Coding Robot Parade. The Bit Coding Robot Parade utilizing Bit Bots will help create engaging lessons for special education students at Herty Primary. The students will draw characters from a story and tape them to the tops of the robot. They will draw out the character plot to show where the character went and what the character did. The robots will also be used in math curriculum and building critical thinking skills.

Covid restrictions won’t keep our kids from getting library books! Mrs. Aunchalee rolls her cart to the students at Herty Primary. Click on “read more” for pictures of a student checking in his Accelerated Reader books and getting new ones.

Angie Fuller is a difference maker. She works with students who have learning disabilities at Herty Primary in a Content Mastery class where every day she provides support to Kindergarten through 2nd grade children.

All students riding the bus MUST wear their masks! Please talk to your child about keeping their masks handy. Responsibility is key here.

Please connect to your child’s class through DOJO. Invitations to join the class have been sent through email and/or text. Herty Primary uses DOJO for class stories, assignments, reminders, personal private messages and point systems for behavior. Check any email or phone number that has been given during registration!
