HCES is proud to celebrate our fifth-grade students!

Throughout this semester, they have participated in the D.A.R.E. program each week, demonstrating commitment and perseverance. Their hard work and dedication were honored during the D.A.R.E. Graduation ceremony, recognizing this important achievement.

Congratulations to our fifth graders on this accomplishment—we are so proud of you!

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Hamilton Crossing Elementary School will take the new Georgia School Climate Survey this year. Each parent or guardian is invited to take the family version to answer questions about the current school or schools you have a child or children attending. If two or more children attend the same school, please only complete one survey for that school.

The survey measures what you think about how the school engages with families. Answers are not linked to names in any way. When typing answers, please do not give names or information that you don’t want to share with this school. Data will be shared with school leaders to help improve the school and will be published on the GaDOE website.

Please help by sharing your honest opinion on this 22-question survey. To take the survey, please visit https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=F7F81818 or use the QR code attached.

Thank you!

Estimado padre/madre/tutor:


Hamilton Crossing Elementary School conducirá la nueva encuesta sobre el clima escolar de Georgia. Invitamos a cada padre/madre o tutor a responder la versión para la familia y las preguntas sobre las escuelas a las que asisten sus hijos actualmente. Si dos o más niños asisten a la misma escuela, complete solo una encuesta para esa escuela.

La encuesta mide cómo usted cree que la escuela se relaciona con las familias. Las respuestas no están vinculadas con los nombres de ninguna manera. Cuando escriba las respuestas, no dé nombres ni información que no quiera compartir con la escuela. Los datos se compartirán con los directores de la escuela para ayudar a mejorar la escuela y se publicarán en el sitio web GaDOE.

Ayúdenos compartiendo su opinión sincera en esta encuesta de 22 preguntas. Para responder la encuesta haga clic en este enlace https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=F7F81818 .
