Thanks for having academic conversations with your child to make sure their focus is our focus.  Our expectation is that all students earn a C or above in each class.

Lunch Applications are available on the school website. If you have not renewed your lunch application, we encourage you to do so. The federal government has placed very high standards on school nutrition. In keeping with the set guidelines, we cannot have students receiving food products from outside vendors during the school day. Students are not to order or receive food from outside restaurants throughout the school day.

If your son or daughter drives to school, they need to purchase a student parking permit. Parking permit applications are available through the cashiers office.  

Academic Habits that create an academic environment: Each day students are expected to have their school issued photo ID on a current Hercules high school lanyard. Students are not allowed in their classes or on campus without their Photo ID. If a student forgot their ID, they have the choice to call home to retrieve their ID or to purchase a replacement one. This is a special reminder that each time your son or daughter requests a replacement ID, it is a $3.00 cost for the ID and a $2.00 cost for the lanyard.  Students are expected to be on time to every class throughout the school day. 

All students need to be on campus by 8:10am so you are not late to your 1^st period class. Thanks for having your son or daughter on campus by 8:10am. We look forward to seeing all student on campus bright and early Monday morning! Have a great evening!
