Herricks Middle School

During these challenging times of race relations in the United States and around the world, our student services team has put together a set of resources to assist parents and teachers in discussing the challenging topics of racism and discrimination with their children.

As the Herricks community faces the changes and challenges that have resulted from COVID-19, the Mental Health staff from both the Middle and High Schools would like to support you and your families with resources to access. We understand that there may be worry, fear, anxiety, loneliness, and other emotions that your children are grappling with during this time of uncertainty. Please contact any one of us if you or your child needs resources or support during this time.
