Head's Highlights

Dear Head Community,

One more week of holiday fun and learning in 2024! The staff has recorded some stories to be enjoyed over the break by parents and students. You may choose to view one a night as the schedule suggests, or you can view them all at once! The schedule and links can be found later in the newsletter. Have a wonderful weekend!

Yearbooks are a fun way to look back on each year as you grow, so make sure you order one for your student today! Each book comes with 2 free Custom pages for you to include your own special photos and memories of the year, but those pages don’t have to be created until April. So purchase at this link in the meantime!

And please send any photos you’d like included in the book or questions you may have to Meghan Chambless at rdyearbook@gmail.com

Over the winter break, a few of our Head Elementary staff members will be reading their favorite stories online.

All Head Elementary parents should have received the following information sent via ParentSquare:

The Georgia School Climate Survey is an anonymous, statewide survey instrument that identifies school safety and climate issues that impact student achievement. Our desire is to involve parents in the education of their children by participating in the Georgia School Climate Survey for Families by clicking this link: Georgia School Climate Survey for Head Elementary School

We ask that you please complete the survey by Friday, December 20th. Thank you so much for participating.

On Friday, we held our annual R.D. Head Spelling Bee.

This year's champion is Navya Mishra!

Our runner-ups are Bryson Moore and Colin Brasfield!!

Congratulations to all of our 4th & 5th grade Spelling Bee participants!
