Buzz-In System Now in Place

Our school has a new system for entering the building through the front doors.  With this new system, visitors need to "Buzz-In" after 8:10am.  We know everyone will have many questions about the new system, so our principal has written a letter to fill you in.

View the letter from Mr. O'Connell for more details.

We are Proud to Announce....
We have been named a 2012
National Blue Ribbon School!
Hendricks Elementary - formerly Austell Intermediate - has been named as one of only 219 schools to be awarded the National Blue Ribbon for 2012. We are one of seven public schools in the state of Georgia to receive the award this year. We are so very proud of our students, teachers and community for everything they have done to bring about this recognition of excellence given by the United States Department of Education.

Congratulations Hendricks Elementary students and Staff
