Dear Parents,
The talent show was amazing! We have so many talented students at our school. I was sorry that I could not attend, as I was at a family event, but was sent many live videos during the event.
Thanks to all the parents and students for their work to get donations for Boosterthon. The activities throughout the week were exciting. Ms. Neighbor's class pranked me by trashing my office, Hashtag Hannah and Jelly Bean had Pies in their faces, and students earned many prizes.
Student artwork was displayed at the GCPS Instructional Support Center this week. We have some very talented artists. You will get to see some impressive artwork in person at our annual R.D. Head Art Show on March 19th. Mark your calendars!
It is hard to believe we are heading into March. Join us on Saturday for Run the Reagan. We have a team of parents and staff that will be running/walking the 5K. I hope to see you there.
On Monday, we will celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday by participating in Read Across America Day. We will have a school wide reading time at 9:00, where all the students and staff will read in the hallways.
Have a great week! Don't forget to read every night.

Georgia DOE Parent Survey
All Head Elementary parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey administered by the Georgia Department of Education.
Data from the survey will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), Georgia's accountability system that rates schools and school districts on a 100-point scale. The data will also be combined with that from the Georgia Student Health Survey II and the Georgia School Personnel Survey to determine each school's Climate Star Rating.
The Georgia Parent Survey will be available through
March 6, 2020.
The link to the survey is posted below. After you click on the link, a drop-down menu will appear and the parent will use the drop-down menu to select their school district and their school.
Our AR challenge runs from 5/10/2019 through 5/10/2020 so that all students including 5th graders may celebrate their accomplishments each May. So far this school year we have
127,011,539
words school wide. Can we get over 200 millions words before 5/10?
Please encourage your child to meet their reading goal so they can celebrate with us at the end of the school year.
Not only are students meeting individual goals, they also also participating in the stable challenge. Open the link below for the AR reading goal flyer.

We are excited to celebrate students and staff who are already in the Million Word Club this year! We have 31 members! Who will be next?

BOX TOPS ARE GOING DIGITAL -
Be sure to register with the NEW Box Top app. Choose R.D. Head as your school (friends and family can do it too! Near or far!) and scan your receipts to digitally send your Box Tops in to us. Each Box Top is worth 10ยข for our school. **You may still find the old pink Box Tops on items. When you do, clip the Box Tops from the packages and send them to your child's teacher. The old box tops are still good until their expiration date!**
