Head's Highlights

Dear Head Community,

Happy November! I would like to start this month by saying I am thankful to be the principal of the best elementary school in Gwinnett. I am grateful for your support and the effort our students display each and every day. Tuesday is our second Digital Learning Day of the year. Students will complete digital assignments from home. I hope to see you all at Chick-fil-A from 5-7 PM on Thursday. The school receives part of the proceeds - don't forget to say you are from Head ES! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget to set your clocks back one hour on Sunday!

Thank you for your generous donations to our clinic supply and food drive this week! We received many much needed supplies for the clinic and were able to donate 585 food items to help support local families.

It's Yearbook time again! Go ahead and purchase this year's yearbook BEFORE October 31, and you'll get 10% off your purchase. You can create your custom pages at a later date, but just lock in a lower price while you can! Use this link to purchase https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=1015986428003405

Also, any photos you take while you're at the school, in your student's class, or on a field trip, please send them to rdyearbook@gmail.com It's nice to include as much school fun as we can!

If your child was not photographed on October 1st, he/she will be photographed on November 14th. If you purchased pictures and would like them retaken, please send in the old pictures. If you did not purchase pictures but would still like them retaken, please make sure your child's teacher is aware. That way he or she will send your child down when I call his/her grade level.

This event will coincide with Family Learning Night.

This year, our classroom spelling bees will be held during the month of November prior to Thursday, Nov. 21st.
