MRS. JOHNSON'S NOTES
Dear Parents,

We had so much fun at the dance! The music and dancing were great! Thanks to the PTA for hosting the dance and the Sweetheart Luncheon. We had so many parents show up for the luncheon, that we had a difficult time trying to find parking. That is a great problem to have. It means so much to the students when their parents are at the school.

Next week, we have Early Release conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. School dismisses at 12:50. If you have not signed up for a conference, please make sure you get with your child's teacher.

Please join us Friday night for the Talent Show at Grace Church. All kindergarten students participate in a special tradition. You will not want to miss it! Saturday, February 22 is the Brookwood cluster Maker Faire at Brookwood High School. Come out and support all the amazing student entrepreneurs in our cluster.

Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy your February break. We will be back at school on Tuesday.

Early Release Days & Parent-Teacher Conferences
Early Release Days for Parent-Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, February 19th and Thursday, February 20th. Students will be dismissed at 12:50 PM on those days. If your student is a walker/car rider/day-care rider, please make any necessary transportation arrangements for your child. Buses will drop students off at their stop at the earlier time.

The online sign-up window is now closed. Please contact your child's teacher if you still need to schedule your parent-teacher conference.

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.
 

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.

  • We accept checks and money orders (made only to Scholastic - not the school) and credit cards/Visa gift cards  (if a child brings one we call the parent to verify authorization and amount.)   Please do not send cash with your child!
  • We are open 2/18, 2/19 & 2/20 before school through 4 pm daily.  We will be open both conference days until 4pm. Due to classes being held in the Media Center, Book Fair IS open during early release but if you need to bring your child with you to conferences they will need to stay with you and you can come to the book fair together.  We will send students back to their parents who are unsupervised.  
We will have an updated Million word Club list next week!  Enjoy your long weekend and happy reading!  We will see you on Tuesday for AR quizzes!
