The primary goal of the Johnson Elementary faculty and staff is to ensure academic success of all students. The collaboration between teachers, assistants, custodians, cafeteria personnel, parents, community members and business partners enable us to accomplish this goal.

Our purpose is to instill a love of learning so each child can develop socially as well as, academically and prepare for an exciting future. The following programs provide a glimpse of the curriculum and activities that promote student engagement, higher level thinking and student success at our school: Guided Reading, Title I, PLATO Reading and Math, Model Classroom Project, FasttMath, First In Math, Gifted and Talented, Bilingual and ESL, Inclusion, Student Teacher Guidance Progam, University Virtual Classroom Experience, Morning Mania, Early Intervention Team and Morning and Afternoon Tutorials.

The dedicated staff of Johnson Elementary is working together with all stakeholders to help "Produce the Nation's Best."

The mission of Johnson Elementary is to provide an atmosphere that fosters positive self-esteem and provides a strong foundation of reading, mathematics, science, written communication and social skills. Through creative learning experiences students become independent thinkers and enjoy learning.

Parents are always welcome and encouraged to visit the school. Please stop by the office to sign in and to sign out. All visitors must provide a state issued ID or driver's license in order to receive a visitor's badge. This procedure will ensure the safety of all children.

In order to avoid unnecessary classroom interruptions, parents are encouraged to make prior arrangements to observe in their child's class. Please refer to the Student Handbook (pg. 28).

Safety is priority for our children therefore, we provide adult supervision beginning at 7:00 a.m. Parents/Guardians may drop off students beginning at 7:00 a.m. Breakfast is served between 7:00 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. and our school day begins at 7:45 a.m. The tardy bell rings at 8:00 a.m.

Dismissal begins at 3:00 p.m. therefore, students will not be checked out of school AFTER 2:45 p.m. When children are taken out of school early, they are missing valuable learning time. We encourage you to allow your child to complete their entire school day.

When picking up car riders, please do not park in the “No Parking” zones along Hamil Road and get out of your car to pick up a car rider. We have a procedure for car rider dismissal and thanks to our parents, it is working more efficiently everyday! Just a reminder that all car riders should be picked up in a car in front of the school in the designated driveway. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
