Johnston Elementary

If you have an incoming Kindergartener to Johnston for this fall, please call the office to register for an orientation session next Tuesday, 8/18. We would love this opportunity to get to know you and your child!

🍎 Back-to-School Conferences Are by Appointment Only! 🍎
We are excited to welcome our Johnston Elementary School and Hmong American Immersion School (HAIS) families back for another amazing school year! ❤️💙💛

Instead of a traditional Open House, we will once again begin the school year with Back-to-School Parent-Teacher Conferences. These one-on-one meetings provide a wonderful opportunity for families and teachers to get to know one another, share important information about your child, answer questions, and begin building a strong home-school partnership before the first day of school.

📅 Back-to-School Conference Dates:
Wednesday, August 26
Thursday, August 27

📢 Important Scheduling Update:
Back-to-School Conferences are scheduled appointments only and are not an Open House. Drop-in visits will not be available.
🏫 Families will schedule their conference through the school office (920)852-5505.
📚 Teacher assignments will be available in Infinite Campus beginning Monday, August 17. Families can view their child's homeroom teacher in Infinite Campus. Call the school office to schedule your back-to-school conference appointment.
🎒 Please bring your student's school supplies with you to your Back-to-School Conference.

We believe strong home-school partnerships are the foundation of student success, and these beginning-of-the-year conferences are an important first step in building those relationships.

Thank you for your flexibility and partnership as we work to create a welcoming and organized experience for all of our families. We can't wait to welcome our Johnston and HAIS families back soon!

❤️💙💛 Two Schools. One Community.

Our teachers are getting ready to welcome our students back for the 2026-2027 school year!
