Today at the parent coffee, our ELST Mrs. Arterberry, shared with the group information about the importance of attendance for both Native English speakers and English Language Learners. She talked about the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) process and how children who have excessive absences or tardies may be referred to this organization. The purpose of this process is to make sure that students are in compliance with the attendance laws. Last week, Johnson had a only 406/526 students here at school AND on time. That's only a 77% attendance and promptness rate. We can do better. The school goal is 97% or better!!
The principal then shared information about the district budget situation. She shared with the parents the budget information specific to Johnson Elementary and its' students. The parents had great questions and had great ideas for how to keep Johnson a STEM focused school in the years ahead.
Parents interested in volunteering in the morning at running club from 8:30-8:55, please contact the school office for more information.
Thank you,
