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 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. Please remember that if school is cancelled, all activities at our school are also cancelled. It is also very 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 or number.

It has been brought to my attention that there are concerns about bus and bus stop behavior. I reminded students about keeping their hands and feet to themselves on the bus, and the students need to stay seated 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. I would appreciate you talking to your child about safety and proper behavior that is expected.

It is important for your child to bring a water bottle to school. All the water fountains are equipped with a bottle filler that can be used to refill their water bottles throughout the day.

If you have a custodial agreement, please provide a copy of this agreement. It is important for me to know of these agreements because they pertain to our students. This information is kept confidential and in my office.

If you are picking your students up from school as car riders, I would like to remind you not to arrive before 2:15 p.m. Car Rider dismissal will begin as soon as the buses leave the front of the building, which is about 2:30 p.m.

Sincerely,

Judy Allegretto

Judy Allegretto
Principal
