Whitehead families, join us for Parent Teacher conferences on November 7th or November 12th from 2:30-5:30. Please make sure you have signed up with your child's teacher! Our goal is 100% attendance!
Earlier today, Whitehead Elementary held a spirit day instead of a traditional Halloween celebration. Principal Randall & Assistant Principal Skaggs dressed as Gru & Bob from the Minion movies & asked all students & staff to join the fun by wearing yellow shirts & blue pants. Students were given paper minion goggles. After dismissal, the staff continued the mission & started building community with their neighbors next door at Flinn Middle School. They were able to pull off a sneak attack on Principal Schrank with the help from an ally inside.
Good evening, Whitehead families! Just a friendly reminder that with the holidays approaching, no child may bring in outside treats unless their teacher has directed them to bring in something specific. We have many life threatening allergies and want to make sure everyone can enjoy the fun!
Good evening, Whitehead families! Don't forget this Thursday is Spirit Day! Come dressed as a minion in a yellow shirt and blue bottoms! If you choose not to participate, please wear your normal uniform.
