Family involvement is a vital part of student success. Johnston Elementary strives to provide an inviting atmosphere in which all families feel welcome and know they are valued partners in working toward their child’s achievement in school.

We will offer several programs for families and guardians that relate directly to what their children are learning in the classroom and inform them on how they can support their children in academics.

Parents and guardians will have on-going communication with staff through Class Dojo, emails, phone calls and scheduled conferences. We will provide timely responses to suggestions and questions raised through direct communication.

Title I Annual Meeting and Open House: This will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to meet teachers and ask questions about curriculum and procedures. Title I will present information about what Title I is, what our policy is, and activities we will be hosting to encourage parent engagement.
