Principal Welcome
Welcome to Johnson Elementary and the view from the Principal's desk. Johnson has been serving our community since 1988. I have been serving the Johnson community since fall of 2012. We have a reputation for being a quality, comprehensive community school. Our staff and community collaborated to determine the values and beliefs that underpin our community reputation.
We believe:
- All children can learn at high levels
- Children learn best with love and respect
- School should be welcoming, loving, safe, and fun
- School should foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving
- Learning should be multi-sensory
- Learning should be connected to life
- Teaching and learning should address the whole child
- Social-emotional learning is important
- A strong foundation is important to student success
- Educators make a difference
We value:
- Partnering with families
- Honoring diversity
- Equity in education
- Inclusionary practices
- Fostering a love of learning
- Nurturing the whole child
