Where Learning Comes First

Principal's Post

Dear Head Community,

We are off to a great start for December! December in an elementary school is probably one of the happiest times in a year. While always focused on teaching and learning, teachers are also helping to make our atmosphere fun and festive. I truly believe one of our most important roles as elementary educators is to instill a love of learning in the hearts of our students. Joy and laughter in the learning environment builds a positive school culture which leads to increased student achievement! So.... Enjoy this time of year! And don't forget to read, read, read. Reading makes you smarter!

Georgia Milestones

Do you have a student in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade? If so, this information is IMPORTANT for you!

It is time to get Georgia Milestones EOG test dates on your calendar!

We truly appreciate your support in providing the best testing experience possible for our third through fifth grade students.

Connecting With the Community

Brookwood High School is holding a community meeting next week. The details are listed above.

Registration for the 2023-24 school year is now underway for some GCPS schools and programs!

Each year, a few special GCPS schools, programs, and a local charter school conduct activities during the winter to register students for the upcoming school year.

That process has begun for one school, with additional events planned through February for the other schools and programs. Learn more and find important links here: https://bit.ly/gcps_SR23-24
