Hendricks staff who meet to discuss ideas for improving our
school. We value our school council members and we appreciate
the time they give in the two-year terms they serve.
We will need three new parents to replace those whose terms are
ending this year. For complete information,
please read this letter from our Principal, Patrick
O'Connell. Also available is
this document outlining details of what a School Council is
all about as well as a list of our current members.
Have you heard about the awards and achievements Hendricks has
earned lately? We are a great school, and much credit goes to
those who serve on committees such as the School Council.
Please consider adding your voice to our advisory board!
Hendricks Named Title I Reward School

assessments over three years.

receive this honor.

Phenomenal Friday!
Mrs. Dutton Named Cobb Teacher of the Week
 Hendricks
Elementary was surprised on Friday, August 26, 2016 with a visit
from the Cobb County Phenomenal Friday team. Students were
greeted upon arrival by the Chick-fil-A Cow and some very sweet
dogs from the Mostly Mutts rescue organization. It was an
exciting way to start our morning!
One fifth grade student, Haley Gregory, was selected to name the
teacher who had inspired her the most during her years at
Hendricks. Haley named our Target teacher, Rachel Dutton, who
was then honored as the Cobb Teacher of the Week.
To read the full article on the CCSD website as well as to enjoy
some great photos of the day, please
follow this link or checkout the
CCSD homepage.
Thanks go out to all our friends at the Cobb County School
District who gave us this honor and made the day so much fun!
What to Wear to School?
Hendricks does not require uniforms for
school, but we do have rules for how students must dress.
Are you wondering what you can or can't wear to school? Please
read the Dress Code
information!
 We
Love Volunteers
The work our teachers, support staff, front
office and administrators do is important to our school. It is a
full time job keeping a great school great!
We wouldn't have a lot of the special 'extras' that sets
Hendricks apart if it weren't for the hours that our volunteers
give to our school.
If you would like to be a Hendricks volunteer, please check out
all the ways you can help on our Parent
Involvement page.
We hope to see you around!

 Yellow Tags for Bus Riders
If your child is 8 years old and under, regardless of their grade, they should come home with a yellow tag on their backpack for safety reasons.
The bus driver will give you a letter with further details about the yellow tag.
 Attention Car Riders
If your child will be a car rider in the afternoons at any time during the school year, you must request a car rider sign.
