Welcome Back to 2014-2015 !

Dear JES families and friends,

Welcome back to both returning and new families! There is exciting activity going on in preparation for the 2014-2015 school year. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and a great first week of school. Teachers, staff and students are going to be Discovering and Sharing our Talents at JES this year!

Newcomers’   Welcome Coffee  in the JES Library On Thursday, September 4th, join us for an informal gathering to welcome the newest parent members to the Johnson family. That is new families to CISD and all kindergarten parents.  Dr. Rene Moses, our new Assistant Principal, will be on hand so you can officially welcome her, as well. If you are new to Johnson Elementary School, drop by the JES library from 8 to 9 on Thursday morning and let us welcome you personally.  All JES parents are invited to come to the coffee to help welcome these newest members to Johnson Elementary family. We hope to see you there!

Through our Core Essentials program we will be emphasizing the Big 3 which are:    

Treat Others Right

Make Smart Decisions

Maximize Your Potential
Our character trait for September is RESPECT defined as showing others they are important by what you say or do. Our JES PTO is generously sponsoring our Core Essentials program again this year. If you are interested in more information about our character education program go to www.coreessentials.org .  When you discuss these important values at home it reinforces their importance. Invite your child to share what they have learned at school about RESPECT. When we work together at school and at home “great” things are possible.

It is not unusual for students to be tired and “out of sorts” the first few weeks of school. The change in their sleep and meal routines alone may cause stress and then when you add on the expectations of school - it is understandable that most children will react. If problems persist or are more extreme than you feel is typical for your child, talk with your child’s teacher and/or contact me. If we can do anything to help you or your student, please let me know. You can email or call to schedule an appointment.
Kindest regards,

Ziba Johnston
