Where Learning Comes First
Principal's Post
Dear Head Community,
Please make sure you sign up for a parent/teacher conference. Conference week is quickly approaching, and it is a perfect setting for you to learn about your child's progress.
I hope you all have a safe break and are able to spend a lot of family time together. When we return, there are some fun fall activities planned as well as a new nine weeks of learning.
