Dear Parents,
Kindergarten students enjoyed dressing up and doing fun activities for the 100th day of school. We had some great costumes and collections of 100 items.
Thanks to all the parents who attended the School Council meeting this week. The agenda, PowerPoint presentation and handouts have been posted on our website for your review. Our final School Council meeting is March 26.
Please join us Thursday for International Night. We have several performances scheduled. In addition, students will explore different cultures throughout the building. As students visit each country, they will get their passport stamped. We hope you can join us.
Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Day. Enjoy your weekend.

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 2, 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.
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION - KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
RD Head is once again pleased and proud to be collecting donations for the American Heart Association. Students continually receive lesson related information on ways to promote heart health. All donations are welcome and the more your student is able to collect and donate, the more potential thank you prizes they will receive. Please see Mr. G's eClass website announcement for details on how to join our team. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
RUN THE REAGAN
is the premier Gwinnett County road race that financially supports the Brookwood Schools Foundation, the Lilburn Coop and OUR local school. The more people that register, the greater the financial benefit to our school!! Our school always has a great turnout and we hope that this year will be no different.
There are
walking and running options
of different lengths. 5K (3.1 miles); 10K (6.2 miles); Half Marathon (13.1 miles).
The race is on February 29, 2020 with the race starting locally in Snellville and running out and back along Ronald Reagan Parkway. (The road is closed to traffic!!!)
Please consider running or at least joining so that our school might financially benefit. This is a great way to get some exercise and even include family and friends. You will find participants of EVERY POSSIBLE fitness level. Other cluster schools are already signed up so please join in the fun.
Your entry fee includes a T shirt, medals for winners, goodies and give-aways from local vendors, plus fun activities.
Look on the right hand side for the tab that says Register
You can also download the physical form and send the form in via the mail.

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
98,953,133
words schoolwide! That is almost 100 million words!
Please encourage your child to meet their reading goal so they can celebrate with us at the end of the school year. We will be excited to see all of their AR quizzes when we return!
Not only are they meeting individual goals, they also also participating in the stable challenge. Open the link below for the new AR reading goal flyer.

From the Robotics Team:
Hey kids (and parents), We are having a canned food drive for a local food bank. Please send in canned goods or non perishable foods. January is one of the lowest months for food collection so we'd like to help some area families in need. We will be counting the items toward the stable challenge. This week the BLUE stable came in strong with 25 items! We collected 47 items total this week which is a great start to our food drive.
Book Fair is right around the corner! Save the date! We will be open for Sweetheart Lunches 2/12 and 2/13 as well as 2/18-21 (Conference / Early Release week) More information will be out soon! We are looking for volunteers to help with set up on 2/11 (pm) as well as shopping helpers. Let us know if you can help. The website link will be up soon.
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!**
