  • Dear Whitehead Families, 

    It is with great excitement and heartfelt gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Jerry Whitehead Elementary! I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal, and I am thrilled to join a school community that is dedicated to student success, strong relationships, and continuous growth.

    This year, we are launching a powerful school-wide theme: Whitehead N.O.W. – No Opportunities Wasted. At its core, this theme reminds us that every moment counts. Learning happens now. Growth happens now. And showing up, both physically and mentally, is the first step toward a successful year.

    We believe that showing up and learning are not optional — they are essential. That means being present every day, engaging with curiosity, and striving to be our best selves. Our staff is committed to ensuring that each student receives the academic support and social-emotional guidance they need to thrive. Together, we’ll create a safe and challenging environment where every child can flourish.

    This year will be one of tremendous growth — academically, socially, and personally. We’ll celebrate our successes, learn from our mistakes, and work together as a team: students, families, and staff.

    I look forward to getting to know each of you and building strong partnerships that support our students. Let’s make the most of every opportunity — because at Whitehead, we don’t wait for success to happen. We create it, together.

    Here’s to a year of learning, growth, and no opportunities wasted.

    Sincerely,

    Sara Timmons
    Principal
