Hembree Highlights

Greetings Hembree Families!

This has been a short yet productive week. It is hard to believe we are already halfway through March. We have some events coming up in the last two weeks of the month. We have our Title One Parent Input meeting on 3/19 at 7:40 in the Media Center. Hembree is hosting the School Board Community Meeting on March 20th at 9:30 AM in the Media Center.

Our Talent Show is Thursday, March 21st at 6:30 PM. Please come out and support our events!

Last chance! Your opportunity to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey ends on Friday, March 15th.

Have you given your thoughts yet? Complete the anonymous survey and let your voice be heard. This survey allows parents to tell us what they think about their student’s schools and the district. While we always make it a priority to listen to our parents, this survey affords us another opportunity to receive your thoughts and opinions.

The parent survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. To access the parent survey, click here

Thank you in advance for making your voice heard!

K-5 Parents/Guardians,

Your student will be bringing home a letter this afternoon regarding changes made by the FCS Board surrounding math placements. These changes will take effect in the 2024-25 school year. Please read through this letter carefully and reach out to Dr. McAtee with any questions or concerns: mcatee@fultonschools.org

Have a great and relaxing weekend! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sincerely,

Nancy Lahey

Dear parents/guardians,

Please use this form to provide input regarding your child's individual learning needs for the upcoming school year at Hembree Springs. We trust that you understand that your comments constitute just one of the many factors that must be considered in forming classes and that input cannot include specific teacher preferences nor comments based on perceptions. Ultimately, the final decision on class placement resides with the school. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A SPECIFIC TEACHER IN ANY WAY.

If you would like to provide input, please complete and submit this form (one for each child) no later than March 29, 2024. Contact Dr. McAtee, CST, if you have questions at mcatee@fultonschools.org.

Fulton County Schools is offering a summer learning program for elementary students grades 3-5 from June 5th - July 3rd from 7:20 am - 2:20 pm at Mimosa Elementary School. This is designed for students that are not meeting grade level expectations at this point in the school year. This summer school opportunity is by invitation only and will be for reading and math. We will be sending out invitations on Friday, March 8th based on preliminary data. The preliminary data is used to make recommendations for Summer Learning and does not mean that your child will be required to attend summer learning. It will be an opportunity for parents to be aware that their child may be a candidate for summer learning. All students that are invited in this 'preliminary' round of invitations are asked to complete the invitation and return it to school for planning purposes. Below is the criteria being used for Summer Learning recommendations:

• 3rd-5th grade student who is performing 2 or more years below grade level on iReady in reading (as measured by the Mid-Year Diagnostic in December 2023)
• 3rd-5th grade student who is performing 2 or more years below grade level on iReady in math (as measured by the Mid-Year Diagnostic in December 2023)
• 3rd-5th grade student who failed a Semester 1 ELA and/or reading course
• 3rd-5th grade student who failed a Semester 1 math course
• 3rd- 5th grade student being considered for retention

Please reach out to Morgan Tew, Assistant Principal, with any questions you might have about Summer Learning.
