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,

Progress reports for the third quarter are enclosed in today’s packet. These reports reflect how well your child is doing academically for the third quarter. Teachers have also included comments that pertain specifically to your child. I would like to ask that you go over this report with your child and return it to school by Friday, February 27, 2026.

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
