Hembree Highlights
March 22, 2024
Message from Ms. Lahey
Greetings Hembree Families!
Wow! I am still smiling from our Hembree's Got Talent show on Thursday night. What an amazing night watching our Hawks showcase their various talents. It was impressive, funny, and adorable. We even had some talented teachers participate.
Thank you to all the parents who participated in the Annual Perception Survey. We met our goal! Thank you so very much.
I am truly humbled to be a part of such a wonderful community of teachers, staff, parents, and students. I wake up every day excited to come to Hembree!
We have one more week before Spring Break. Our teachers are working hard to provide a high level of instruction for your children.
On April 8th there will be a solar eclipse. The district is providing safety glasses for all students to wear for this event. I will share my plan in next week's Hembree Highlights.
I hope you all have something fun planned for the weekend. My youngest child, Samantha, turns 22 today. I plan to travel to Athens to celebrate her birthday! Have a great and relaxing weekend!
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.
Last Chance for Title I Input Survey!
We still need parent survey responses to meet our goal. If you have not done so, please fill out our Title I Parent Survey prior to the March 27th deadline. This survey is different from the Annual Parent Perception Survey. Survey input will be reviewed, and responses will directly impact family engagement programming for next year. Do you love Star nights? Let us know! Would you prefer our meetings to be online? Let us know! Got a great idea? This is your chance! See the flyer below for more information.
Student Success Skills Post Survey Grades 3-5
Hello Parents,
The Student Success Skills Inventory is used to measure student growth across Student Success Skill standards as a result of ReThink Ed lessons. Students complete the inventory by indicating if they almost always, always, sometimes, or never apply the skills being taught in the areas of Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Competence, Collaborative Problem Solving, Reflective Learning Strategies, and Sense of Belonging. The SSS Inventory is about 15-20 item and administered to students in the Fall and Spring. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. Students complete the SSS Inventory using the Illuminate platform.
- Spring Inventory Administration: April 8, 2024 – April 12, 2024
If you have any questions about the SSS Inventory, please contact Ms. Reynolds, school counselor at reynoldssn@fultonschools.org. Parents can choose to opt their student out of the inventory. To opt out, parents must submit a written request to the school principal, Ms. Lahey at lahey@fultonschools.org no later than March 28th, 2024.

Summer Learning Program for Grades 3-5
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.
