Good Morning,
We are looking forward to this week's upcoming Art Show.
The Johnson ECC is proud to present the 2nd Annual Art Show hosted by the Parent Council on Thursday, May 18th from 5:30-7:00 p.m. The students have been working hard to create their own special pieces of art all under the direction of our amazing PreK Staff. This year’s theme is making Literacy connections through Art. You can expect to see Masterpieces connected to authors such as Jan Brett, Eric Carle, Lois Elhart, just to name a few.
We hope to see you on Thursday!

Last Day of school for Johnson ECC:
The last day of school for Johnson ECC students is on Tuesday, June 13th. Dismissal for all students will be at 10:45 a.m. due to the District Wide Professional Development Day.
Safety: Please drive slow when on school property! We ask that families and caregivers obey all STOP signs and slowly and carefully drive over the speed bumps. Safety is a top priority for our students, families and staff.
Dogs on school property: WPS has a policy about animals in school and on school property. (Policy IMG) We ask that you refrain from bringing your pets to drop off or pick up. We have many students that are afraid of dogs or may have allergies. To keep all students safe, we kindly ask that you leave your pet either at home or safely in the car when picking up your student.
Have a great week!
