Families - Hickory Flat Elementary

HenryConnects Family View

One of our core beliefs is that family and community involvement is critical to student success! Through a variety of parent feedback opportunities, we have heard the parent desires to know what their children are learning and how to provide support at home. In an effort to bring classroom resources to your living room, we have developed the HenryConnects Family View. This is a one-stop shop developed to strengthen the partnership between home and school. It connects families to school information, tools, and instructional resources specifically tailored to your child's courses.

An Inﬁnite Campus Parent Portal account is required to access HenryConnects Family View. Don’t have a Parent Portal account? Reach out to your child's school.

College, Career and Counseling Resources

When educators believe in students, learning and confidence are activated! In HCS we believe our students can have the future of their dreams and interests. It is essential that our schools prepare students to be college and career ready. The choices made regarding a student’s course of study or pathway to complete requirements for a high school diploma are the gateway to post-secondary options. It is important that students plan courses of study, job shadow, attend our Academy for Advanced Studies, attend college tours (virtual or in person), and enroll in courses or pathways that create opportunities for their individualized post-secondary option.

The High School Advisement Guide outlines graduation requirements specified by the Georgia Department of Education and Henry County Public Schools, providing comprehensive information for planning the high school course of study or pathway.

GAfutures provides information to schools in Georgia to help young people and adults make informed post-secondary choices including individual portfolio building, dual enrollment information, test preparation, general career information, college planning, financial aid and scholarship information, HOPE GPA, military options, and personal skill and interest assessments. Each student establishes a GAfutures account in high school and should maintain the same account through graduation. For more information, visit GAFutures.
