Flexible Instructional Time/ After School Tutoring

Students can stay after school to receive help from staff members for multiple reasons including test preparation, test remediation, tutoring, accruing seat time through flexible instructional time, etc. Students need to sign up by filling out THIS FORM, (save this link)

OR students can attend HHS Academy after school which is an enrichment and support program that offers tutoring.

Important Cell Phone Update 

All students are required to put their phones in the numbered sleeves in classrooms. Students will no longer be permitted to have phones “away” in class and instead, upon entering the classroom, students must put their phones in the sleeves that are in each classroom. 

• Cell phone usage is not permitted in public schools across the Commonwealth of Virginia per the governor’s executive order. 
• Cell phone usage is not permitted once students enter the building at the beginning of the school day, until the end of the school day.  Click HERE for Huguenot progressive actions for cell phone usage.
• Cell phones must be off and away during the school day. 
• Students caught with their cell phones out during the day may have their cell phones confiscated until the end of the day. 
• Tablets, Beats, headphones, AirPods, smart watches, and other electronic devices that have wifi/internet/Bluetooth capability are prohibited and may be confiscated.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday break.  I want to share with you how thankful I am for our wonderful Huguenot High School teachers.  

Pride in our football team:
I would like to thank our football team for providing us with an amazing season this fall. I am immensely proud of our players who fought to the bitter end in the VHSL Region 4B Championship this weekend.  

Importance of Attendance:
We are approaching the testing window and the end of the first semester. We cannot stress the importance of daily, on-time, school attendance in all classes. Please reinforce the importance of attending school and class on time with your students. 

We also have after-school and Saturday tutoring sessions available in core content areas.  

SOL retakes begin the week of December 8.  Students will be notified via email, and parents will be notified via ParentSquare.  End-of-course SOL testing will begin on December 15. 

Jackets and Winter Clothing
Temperatures are dropping this week.  Please note that doors open at 8:35 am and that school releases at 4:00 pm.  Please do not drop your students off too early or pick them up late, as the temperatures will be very cold.  If your child is in need of a winter coat, please contact your student’s school counselor. 

Huguenot High School will be closed from Wednesday, November 26 through Friday, November 28 for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We look forward to seeing you when we re-open on Monday, December 1.
