Hembree Highlights
February 16, 2024
Message from Ms. Lahey
This has been an amazing week celebrating our teachers. Thank you very much to the PTA for organizing and providing a week of special treats for the staff. Our teachers and staff work incredibly hard and they are so dedicated. It was nice to shower them with goodies. We kicked the week off with our Teacher of the Year and School Professional of the Year celebrations.
Congratulations to Jordan DeLee for winning Teacher of the Year and to Kat Walker for winning School Professional of the Year. These ladies go the extra mile every day.
It was also great to see so many smiles on Valentine's Day. Your children are loved here at Hembree!
The Annual Parent Perception Survey information is below. Last year we had a participation rate of 21.78% from parents. Please help me meet my goal of 50% by taking the survey. The results impact our CCRPI score. Thank you in advance for completing this.
Hembree is currently seeking members interested in joining our School Governance Council. I would love to see an interest from the parent community in running for the SGC. This is a great opportunity to have a pulse of what is happening here at school and does not consume much time. Please let me know if you are interested in running and I will send your information to our SCG chair.
Just a friendly reminder that this is a long weekend. Students have off on Monday 2-19 and Tuesday 2-20. I hope you all have something fun planned with your family.
Have a great and relaxing weekend!
Sincerely,
Nancy Lahey

Annual Parent Perception Survey
Dear Parent/Guardian,
At Fulton County Schools, we truly value the feedback from our parents about their experiences with the district. That is why I encourage all parents to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey. This survey allows parents to tell us what they think about their student’s school(s) 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 survey is anonymous and confidential. Please complete one survey per school where you have one or more students enrolled. The survey will remain open from Monday, February 12 through Friday, March 15.
The parent survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. If you or your family would like to take it in a language that is not listed, contact your school’s principal with the requested language. The parent FAQ is available in:
To access the parent survey, click here or scan the QR code with a smartphone.
It’s not only parents we want to hear from. Our students’ opinions are important too! Students in grades 3-12 will be provided with the opportunity to take the Annual Student Perception Survey between February 12 and March 15 during the school day. In our ongoing efforts to remain transparent with parents, please take a moment to review the 3-5 student survey and/or the 6-12 Student Survey, which are available in English and Spanish.
Results from past surveys are available on the Balanced Scorecard.
Thank you for making your voice heard!
Relationships Matter!
