MRS. JOHNSON'S NOTES
Dear Parents,

This week was very emotional for me as I announced my retirement on January 1, 2022. Thank you to all the parents that reached out to me. The stories and comments really made my day! I am blessed to work at Head.

Thanks to all the parents that attended the School Council meeting. If you're interested in the information from our meeting, check out our website under School Council.

Monday is color stable dress-up day! All students are encouraged to support their team by dressing in their color stable.

Have you joined PTA? If not, please consider joining. Each class that gets 100% participation in PTA, will earn a popsicle party. Please help your child’s class earn the reward. It is only $6.00 to join.

Are you looking for a job? We are hiring and need two special education parapros. The county is offering a $1500 signing bonus. If interested, please fill out your application online at the GCPS website.

Our students are amazing!!!! Did you know that they have already read over 36 million words? Keep reading!!!! The more students read, the better readers they become.

Have a great week!
