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 changing, please make sure your children come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. I would like to remind you to create or review your emergency plan for your family. These plans should include what your child should do in the event of a school cancellation, a school delay, or an early dismissal. 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 my office if you need to update any information or add an emergency contact and/or number.

Thank you to the PTCO for sponsoring the Secret Santa Shop last week. It is a great experience for the students! I would like to thank all the volunteers for assisting with this event.

Elementary students must be supervised when attending extracurricular activities such as high school football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, concerts, and drama productions, etc. Students are running around in the hallways and cafeteria, which is unacceptable. Parents are asked to supervise their children and not allow them to run freely, which leads to behavioral problems. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the Johnsonburg Area Elementary School faculty and staff, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. School will be back in session on Monday, January 5, 2026. My next newsletter will be issued on Tuesday, January 6.

Sincerely,

Judy Allegretto
