Elementary Open House - kindergarten through 4th grade
OUR GOAL: To help families meet their student’s teachers, see their classrooms, drop off supplies, and become familiar with the elementary school building. We believe that this event provides our school and families with a crucial initial contact for the school year.
There are limited visitor parking stalls in front of the elementary domes. If these are full, please park in the main parking lot located in front of the middle school/high school domes and walk around to the front of the elementary domes. There are two separate entrances that you may use to come into the building (please see the map below). We look forward to seeing you there!
4K Ready, Set, Go Conferences
Open House Night - Miss Katie N. and Miss Kelly

Important: The first day of school for 4K/EC students will be Tuesday, August 27th.

New Elementary Schedule
The elementary schedule will look different this year. Students will no longer be switching teachers for math and literacy blocks. All subjects will be taught by each homeroom teacher. This will allow for more instructional minutes during the school day and less time transitioning to other classrooms. This will not change how students are taught. All students will be introduced to grade level standards, as well as continue learning at their current level. This new schedule will also allow teachers to spend more time getting to know and creating stronger relationships with their homeroom students. We are very excited for this new change!
Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
Drop Off and Pick Up
Bus Riders:
If your student will be riding the bus, the video below will give you information about where students will get on and off the bus at school each day.
Car Riders:
If you will be dropping off or picking up your student from school, please click on the link below to view a map of the route you will need to follow each day. The arrows indicate the direction you will need to go and students will be dropped off and picked up in front of the elementary domes. For the safety of everyone, please pay close attention to staff, students, and other vehicles when in this line.
Arriving Late/Leaving Early:
If your student is arriving after 7:45 or leaving school before 2:50, you will need to enter through the far left door under the Johnson Creek Elementary sign (door 7). Please use the intercom system to speak with someone in the main office. The main entrance is the only entrance that is to be used for visitors during school hours.
Please Note: Our AM EC/4K sections dismiss at 10:45. There will be a line of traffic during that time for about 10 minutes.
