Johnsonburg Area Elementary School
Welcome to Johnsonburg Area Elementary School. Learning and fun go hand in hand in our preschool through sixth-grade classrooms. We are a community of caring, dedicated professionals who work together to bring about the academic and personal success of every student in our care.
At JAES, students, parents, and teachers are all on the same team. Weekly communication packets support that team spirit by sharing information about upcoming events and samples of your child’s schoolwork. Watch for your child’s packet on Tuesdays.
A Message From Our Principal
Dear Johnsonburg Elementary School Families,
Now that the temperature is starting to change, make sure your children come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. Please make sure that you have a family emergency plan in place in the event of a delayed start, early dismissal, or cancellation. It is also important that each family has a working phone number so that the school can communicate with you in case of an emergency. Please contact the office if you need to update any information or add an emergency contact and/or number.
Parent conferences will be on Thursday, October 30 (after school) and on Friday, October 31 (morning). If you need a specific time due to a work schedule or other commitment, please contact my office so that a time can be scheduled to accommodate your schedule. All requests need to be made before Friday, October 17 so that we can do our master conference schedule. A parent conference is mandatory for your child’s report card.
It has been brought to my attention that there are numerous concerns about bus and bus stop behavior. I have reminded students about keeping their hands to themselves on the bus. It is also a safety concern when the students are at the bus stop to be careful and cautious when near the road or crossing the streets. Students must stay seated on the bus and obey the drivers. It is necessary that you talk to your child about safety and the proper behavior that is expected.
A reminder that no shorts, skorts, or capri pants are to be worn beginning on November 1, 2025, until April 1, 2026. Please review the dress code on page 17 of the school’s handbook if you have any questions.
On Thursday, October 30 the students will be having individual classroom Halloween parties. Students will be permitted to bring in treats for their classmates if desired. Treats must be store bought.
Sincerely,
Judy Allegretto
