WELCOME BACK JEDI DRAGONS!

Dear JES families and friends,

Welcome back to a new school year! There are many exciting plans in the works for our students this year. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer! We are back in full swing here at Johnson!

 NEWCOMERS Are INVITED!

 On Tuesday, September 3rd , there will be a reception for the newest parent members to the Johnson family. All parents new to the CISD and all kindergarten parents are invited for conversation and a light breakfast. This will be an informal opportunity to ask questions and also to meet our PTO leaders. We want to welcome you personally.  If you are new to the Johnson Elementary School family,  then drop by the JES cafeteria on Tuesday from 8:15 to 9:15. I hope to see you then.

  Our character trait for September is COURAGE defined as being brave enough to do what you should do even when you’re afraid.  Our generous JES PTO is sponsoring our Core Essentials program this year. If you are interested in more information about our character education program go to www.coreessentials.org   I hope that you will take time to discuss these critical life values at home which reinforce their importance. Invite your child to share what they have learned about the character trait each month. When we work together at school and at home, great things are possible.

 You can expect 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 some stress and then when you add on the expectations of school - it is understandable that most children will react. If problems persist or symptoms are more extreme than you feel is typical for your child, talk with your child’s teacher and contact me. If I can do anything to help you or your student, please let me know. You can email me at elizabeth.johnston@southlakecarroll.edu   or call 817 949 4500 to schedule an appointment.

 Kindest  regards,

 Ziba Johnston
