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 second quarter are enclosed in today’s packet. These reports reflect how well your child is doing academically for the second 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, December 5, 2025. Your comments are always welcomed on this report.

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.

The 6th grade class play will be performed on Thursday, December 11 at 6:30 p.m. The title of the play is Elf Jr., and the students have been hard at work preparing for this exciting holiday event.

Attention, 5th grade parents! Our school district has been asked for permission to distribute Gideon Bibles to our 5th grade students during December. This request will be honored on an optional basis. No student will be required to take a bible; it is completely optional. Any questions regarding this request should be directed to my office.

All absences will be recorded as illegal absences until a written excuse is received. This written excuse is important. Not sending an absentee form or note within five days of your child’s return to school will result in an illegal absence.

We are having a huge safety concern for our drop-off and car rider students. The speed limit in our parking lots is 15 mph. Slow down and be alert when in our driveway and parking lots. Also, make sure they are safely and properly buckled into their car seat/booster with their seatbelt. We want all students to be safe and obey the state law.

Sincerely,

Judy Allegretto

Judy Allegretto
Principal
