Our elementary schools will celebrate the Harvest Fest/Halloween holiday on Friday, October 29. We ask that all elementary students wear masks (surgical or cloth) designed to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Up to two family members are invited to watch the elementary school parades, and these guests must also be fully masked and follow social/physical distancing guidelines. You will receive details soon from your school principal.

We are so pleased that parents can join us for our virtual Back to School Night! To find the links  to videos and our live presentations, please check your email.

All our teachers and staff look forward to welcoming Johnson Park students back to school on Thursday, September 9. Here are details about procedures and protocols designed to keep our students and staff safe.

Dates and times for the Johnson Park orientation events, the New Family Open House, plans for Back to School Night and more!

Here are the Johnson Park 2021-2022 Health & Safety Protocols. Many of the same protocols that were implemented last school year will remain in effect, with a few adjustments. We will continue to adjust protocols and procedures when necessary.

Johnson Park would like to invite students, parents, and friends to an evening of fun and games tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 24 from 5:30 PM to 8 PM. The event will be held at Community Park (the park, not the school) and will include a variety of games, such as tug-of-war, relays, and water balloon toss. There will also be team games, sports skills and brain challenges. We hope you can attend! Bring your extended family and neighbors to watch, cheer, or play.

Dear JP Parents and Families:

Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed your winter break and are looking forward to 2021! 

Just a few reminders as we begin a new week:

A very large weather system of rain and wind is approaching Princeton on Thursday and Friday this week. The forecast is calling for heavy rain at our peak times of arrival and dismissal.

This is simply to serve as a reminder of care and caution when dropping off your child or picking them up from JP. We will screen our students as quickly as possible so that they can get in the building safely. My concern is for dismissal. For Thursday and Friday, we are going to release all of our bus riders from class first. We are going to load our bus riders on the buses first and we are going to move the buses along quickly.

Thank you for your support in completing a health-status assessment each morning for your child. You’ve enabled us to welcome our staff and students back to school in a safe environment.

Based on our experience, we’re making minor changes in our system:

Starting October 19, JP will celebrate the Week of Respect and School Violence Awareness Weeks with a daily Upstander challenge. 

An Upstander is someone who stands up and speaks out when someone is being hurt. Upstanders treat others with kindness and care. Upstanders create a warm and welcoming JP community. At JP we believe every student can be an upstander!

Back to School Night will be held (virtually) for Johnson Park families starting at 6:30 PM. Parents will receive Zoom links via email. Here is an overview of the evening:

Dear Johnson Park Families:

The first day of the new school year is finally upon us! I hope that you share my excitement although I recognize that there is some worry. This year, we open our school year in a very different way. Our staff members and teachers have worked tirelessly to prepare for our opening, and I can assure you that their warmth, enthusiasm and creativity will shine—even through a screen.
