Good evening everyone,

I am writing to officially notify everyone that I will be leaving Dunwoody Elementary and moving to McLendon Elementary as a Principal for the 2012-2013 school year.

I am writing filled with a variety of emotions as I think of what we have done and what is yet to come for DES and me. I hold such fond thoughts for the friends and families I will leave at Dunwoody ES, but on the other hand, I am excited about this new adventure and professional opportunity. I would like to thank all of you for your support over the past few years.

As you have heard me say many times, we have spent a great amount of energy and enthusiasm as a community to get to know each other and build something fantastic together. We have had a wonderful year this past year; we have accomplished so much and set a solid foundation for years to come. I have thoroughly enjoyed all three years at DES and the additional 6 years I have had the opportunity to serve the Dunwoody community.

The School District, Staff, School Council and Parent Leadership team members are working very hard to provide insight and input for the selection of the next principal. I feel very confident that with this guidance the children and families of Dunwoody Elementary and the Dunwoody Community will have a wonderful Principal to carry on our many great traditions and activities we have established.

Please know that each of you is in my heart, and I will forever remember the wonderful experiences at Dunwoody ES. Please let me know if I may do anything for any of you in the future.

Johnathan M. Clark
