Kindergarten students celebrate their moms

Both Kindergarten classes put on a play about the animals helping little bear choose a gift for his mommy. What a great day to thank our moms for all they do everyday . 

Thank you parents for celebrating our Wonderful Whitehead teachers

This past week our PFA and many amazing families celebrated and thanked our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Each day our teacher's lounge was transformed into a colorful inviting lunchroom filled with treats, and delicious lunch spreads. Thank you so much parents for the support and recognition. 

Please help keep our parking lot safe

Please do not park and leave your vehicle unattended along any red curb at Whitehead School. If you are dropping off  or picking up along the red curb the driver must remain in the vehicle. Since our red curb identifies the fire lane this rule is to be followed at all times, before, during and after school. There is parking along the plain curbs on Waterfall Dr. and Shadow Ln. 

The yellow curbs in the front of the school are for the school bus loading and unloading zone . This is a friendly reminder that drivers may not pass any school bus while it has it's stop sign out and it's red lights flashing to let other drivers know that students are loading and unloading. 

Thank you for working together to make our school parking lot and Waterfall Dr. a safe place for everyone.

April Student of the month

April students of the month will be treated to a pizza luncheon in our cafeteria. Way to go !
