Week of November 10th, 2025
This week's highlight came when our students were all able to come together for our SOAR Assemblies. This is held at the beginning of every month here at Johnson. We take the time to look over behavior data from the previous month, go over the LPS Character Trait of the Month, and talk about the positive incentives that students can earn for the month, and set some goals. Take the time to discuss what your students learned at the assembly this week. Here is a picture of Mr. Bublitz going over our Character Trait with the students.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding for built in Professional Development Days for our staff. These are crucial days in which our staff can meet, plan, learn, and help guide or instruction. We spent the day with the other 5/6 Buildings working together and sharing out ideas and resources.
For those who are headed to 6th Grade Camp on Monday, we are looking forward to creating some core memories here at Johnson. We appreciate all the parent and chaperone help that we have received to help make this happen. Please make sure to pack warm, as it appears temperatures will dip below cold this weekend.
Please see the section below to fill out our family survey, as we will be collecting those results. The survey will be open through Friday, the 14th of this week. Your time is much appreciated!

This Week Focused On Classroom Expectations
This week we focused on expectations for students in the classrooms. During our SOAR Assembly we expressed the importance of the job of the student, and how a student is here to learn. Please see the attached matrix to go over SOARing expectations for all aspects of the building. Our SOAR Assembly took place this week to look over data for October to set goals for November. Take the time to discuss something positive your students learned from the assembly.
Congratulations Mr. Bublitz!
We would like to congratulate Mr. Bublitz for being voted this award by his colleagues this week! Mr. Bublitz is our new Assistant Principal, and he has just finished out his first month here in the building. He has been a tremendous addition to our staff. In just one month, he has made a positive impact on students, staff, and everyone that he comes in contact with. He is visible, dedicated, and gives his all to the job. He has been a natural fit here, and we are so thankful to have him!
November is Responsibility
For the month of November, all LPS schools will focus on working with responsibility. Take the time to talk with your student about what that means to them and your family.
