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,

I would like to remind everyone about our school wide positive behavior plan and the RAMS
rules. The “RAMS” school rules are:

R – Respect
A – Act responsibly
M – Make learning happen
S – Simply be nice

Unfortunately, I have been receiving more referral forms recently. There are times when students choose to misbehave and consequences must be applied for this unacceptable behavior. Students need to stay positive and focused to do their best classwork, homework, and assignments every day.

It has also been brought to my attention that there are concerns about bus and bus stop behavior. 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. I would appreciate you talking to your child about safety and proper behavior that is expected.

We will be holding kindergarten registration for the 2026–2027 school year from Monday, March 2–Friday, March 6. Children who are legal residents of the Johnsonburg Area School District and have turned five years of age on or before August 1, 2026, are eligible to attend kindergarten next year. A parent/guardian can come to our school, together with all immunization reports and birth certificate, to register your child. If you have any questions, please call my office. Pre-K Counts applications will also be available during this time.

Sincerely,

Judy Allegretto

Judy Allegretto
Principal
