The Johnson County School Board approved and released their "Return To School" action plan for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year. We have created a dedicated web page where you can find out all about this and other upcoming information concerning the new academic year.

Johnson County Schools "Return To School" Action Plan

Johnson County Schools places the safety of our students and staff above all else. As we began planning for what the 2020-2021 school year will look like, we created a survey for our parents, teachers, and staff. Between the three surveys, we received over 1,000 completed surveys. Across each survey, the majority wished to return to in-person classes for the upcoming school year.  

The Johnson County School System is excited to announce the addition of a school based mental health clinician in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 Summer Professional Development calendar for Johnson County School staff is now available! 
We don’t have as many offerings this summer due to the pandemic and we have added several online options.
Please have teachers contact the appropriate supervisor with questions.
 

Johnson County Schools have been using software for several years to communicate with its parents, staff and students about local events, school schedule changes and general school related information. There have been some major updates to the software over the past couple of months that have not allowed our e-mail communication to go out alongside our voice messages. This has created some confusion and has limited effective communication between the schools and parents. With assistance and guidance from our software team at School Messenger, we have a solution in place that will allow everyone to continue receiving calls via voice and e-mail.

Parent involvement is crucial to academic success no matter how old your child is. The Skyward Family Access Parent Portal is a tool for parents to stay informed and engaged in their child's education. The Parent Portal gives parents and guardians access to their child's attendance, grades, and missing assignments. Weekly progress reports are available as well.

This newly passed law provides revisions and updates regrading school attendance, truancy, and discipline.
