Family Firebird Focus
August 2024
Welcome to the 24-25 School Year Firebird Families!
I hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying your summer making core memories together with your families. The first day of school is quickly approaching and I would like to officially welcome you back to Johnson Jr. High School and share my excitement for the upcoming impact we will have on our Firebird Scholars this year.
At Johnson Junior High School, we are committed to providing an inclusive and nurturing environment for all students and staff. Our dedicated staff is here to ensure that every student receives the support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our staff will all be trained in the best research-based instructional strategies to support Writing to Learn, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading to Learn.
We believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork. Together, we can create an atmosphere of trust and growth where both students and staff can excel. I encourage open communication and strongly value the contribution of parents and community members in shaping our school's success. We highly encourage you to stay engaged with your Firebird’s progress, attend their school events, and celebrate the many wins they will have throughout the year.
A priority this year is to foster a culture of excellence by promoting academic achievement, personal development, and a sense of belonging. Throughout the year, we will work together to provide engaging learning experiences, implement innovative teaching strategies, and celebrate the achievements of our students.
I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the incredible potential of our students. With your support and active involvement, I am confident that we can make JJHS a place where every student can reach their full potential and be ready to cross the street on to South High School by the end of their 8th grade year.
It has always been an honor to be a part of the Firebird Family & South Triad community and look forward to the 24-25 school year!
Educationally yours,
Michaela S. Bradshaw
JJHS Head Principal
