SCHOOL BEGINS AUGUST 23rd FOR THE 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR

Good-bye to two great staff members.

Dorothy (Garralts) Murphy has served Johnstonville School for 30 years and is now moving to a well-deserved retirement.  Her contribution to the school over the years has been tremendous.  Children and staff appreciated Dorothy as a caring person with a calm demeanor.  Her wisdom has touched the hearts of all at Johnstonville School.  She will be greatly missed!

Samantha Dedrick, sixth grade teacher, is moving to Oregon with her husband and closer to their families.  Although only at Johnstonville for two years, she has been a wonderful asset.  Mrs. Dedrick served on School Site Council and led the student council.  She cooridinated many great events for students thoughout the year.  Her bubbly nature and rapport with her students helped make 6th grade a great year.  We will miss her cheerful presence and wish her the best.

 Superintendent/Principal's Message

Johnstonville Elementary School District is a single school district located in northeastern California.  Johnstonville prides itself on its academic rigor and its friendly, caring environment.  There are currently 227 students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade.  We are guided in all aspects of our school by our motto, Excellence in Education.

Johnstonville seeks the development of the whole child.  Students are challenged daily through a standards-based education to grow as thinkers and problem solvers.  They develop good character, manners and work habits to promote life-long success as citizens.  They are offered programs in art, music and sports to provide growth in culture and physical well-being.

The professional staff at JES continues to grow through collaboration and training focused on increasing student success.  The small size of the school creates a family atmosphere of support.  Staff are dedicated to continuous improvement and share their love of learning with students.

We value the opportunity to work together with our parents and guardians.  We encourage them to be true partners in education by working with their children at home and volunteering at the school.  Together, we will help the students of Johnstonville strive to be their best and reach for the stars!

Sally Clark, Superintendent/Principal
