Five Georgia schools have been identified as the 2017 winners of the Georgia Family-Friendly Partnership School Award. The winners were selected based on their exceptional customer service for Georgia families, according to a state Department of Education press release.

“Parent engagement is an essential component of every successful school – it has an enormous impact not just on the individual child, but on every child in the school building,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “Schools can only build those partnerships when parents and families feel welcome in their child’s school – welcome to visit, to engage, and to be a part of the learning process. I commend each of our 2017 Family-Friendly Partnership Schools for providing that welcoming environment for parents and families.”

The winners are:

Bear Creek Middle School in Barrow County School System

East Fannin Elementary School in Fannin County School District

Elm Street Elementary School in Rome City Schools

Garden Hills Elementary School in Atlanta Public Schools

Mossy Creek Elementary School in White County School System

They were chosen from a pool of ten finalists.

The five other schools named finalists are:

East Jackson Elementary in Jackson County School System

Georgia Cyber Academy, K-12 Virtual School

Sand Hill Elementary School in Carroll County School System

South Columbus Elementary School in Muscogee County School District

Vineville Academy of the Arts in Bibb County School District
