School Climate - Parent Survey

Dear Parents:
Each year the State of Georgia Department of Education requests that our school conduct the Georgia School Health Climate Survey for staff, students (3^rd/4^th/and 5^th graders only), and parents.  This particular survey collects important data which we analyze in an attempt to improve our practices and processes to meet the needs of our students and community.  Below is a link which is for the Parent Survey.  We’re asking our parents to take a few minutes to go online and use the link below to complete the survey.  The information we gather will be valuable for our ongoing school-wide planning.  The survey results are anonymous and secured as such.  Thank you for your consideration in completing this survey, we appreciate it.

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!
