Regular attendance matters, especially in young learners. Too many absences in preschool and elementary school deprive students of essential foundational lessons and the opportunity to develop critical social skills. Learn more from Attendance Works, including how establishing daily routines can help your child #BePresentBePowerful.

Our Robotics Club led by Ms. Lewis did a phenomenal job at the McDonough Cluster. Students had different activities for families to engage with Ozobots.
Curriculum Night was a success at Wesley Lakes! K–2 families learned more about MAP and Amira, and our 3–5 families received important information about the upcoming Georgia Milestones.
Wesley Lakes Elementary School has been recognized as a Georgia Literacy Leader for 3rd Grade Growth on the 2025 Georgia Milestones!
Honored to be recognized by State Superintendent Richard Woods @woodsforsuper .
So proud of our students and teachers for the growth!
Last fall, the Georgia Department of Education recognized eight HCS schools as John Hancock Award Schools and named 20 schools as 2024-2025 Literacy and Math Leaders. State School Superintendent Richard Woods visited HCS today to recognize school principals and present them with banners acknowledging their students’ exceptional performance.

Big excitement in Ms. Alexander’s class! 🐣🐥 Chicks are hatching and students got a front-row seat to learning—and some gentle petting too. Lots of curiosity and smiles!
Shoutout to our amazing 5th grade team for hosting 5th Grade Parent Night last night! Great conversations about Milestones and the transition to middle school. Parents even tested their skills to see if they were Smarter Than a 5th Grader with 5th grade math
100 days of learning.
100 days of growing.
And 100 days of showing up and doing the work.
Our students and staff brought the energy today, and it was so fun celebrating just how far our Dolphins have come. And we’re not done yet!
Starting 2026 the right way! Teacher leaders leading the way during engaging, meaningful PD as we focused on Academic Monitoring to strengthen Tier 1 instruction!
Fun. Focused. Intentional.
Proud of this team!
Wes says goodbye!
After a few technical difficulties (North Pole signal issues are real 😅❄️), Wes got his magic back and wanted to say one last goodbye before heading home.
Thanks for spreading cheer, fun, and great reminders along the way.
Wes, Dolphin Nation loved having you!
Henry County Schools is excited to share that the Georgia Department of Education has released the latest TSI exit list and CSI Progress Schools designation. We are proud to announce that all four Henry County Schools previously identified for TSI have successfully exited, and no new HCS schools were identified.
In addition, Walnut Creek Elementary School was recognized as a CSI Progress School for its improvement efforts. Congratulations to all!
Day 12 with Wes the Elf…
The mystery was solved, lessons were learned, and our Dolphins were reminded to follow the rules and show that DIVE behavior every day!
Cue the celebration… WES IS BACK!

Day 11 with Wes the Elf…
Wes is STILL trying to get his magic back, and his team has figured out what happened! 👀
Should they reveal it… or keep the mystery going? 🤔
What do you think happens next?!

Day 10 with Wes the Elf
Uh oh! Wes lost his magic after being touched, so before heading back to the North Pole, we took him to Ms. Smith’s office to see if she could help bring it back!
Reminder, Dolphins — look, don’t touch!
