A Message from the Principal...
Happy February! As we dive into
second semester, I wanted to take
some time and remind parents how
important they are to their child’s education. According to (Dufur, Parcel
and Troutman, 2012), numerous studies over time have proven that parental involvement is a more significant
factor in a child’s academic performance that the qualities of the school
itself. Parent engagement is not only
important in their child’s elementary
years but also crucial as the child enters middle school/high school age as
well. What can parents do?
• Continually remind children the
importance of education.
• Attend school events.
• Check homework and consistently
monitor grades.
Furthermore, here are several opportunities for parents to get involved
in our organizations that benefit the
Johnson Creek student body and
school community:
• Johnson Creek Education Foundation: http://www.johnsoncreek.k12.

• JC Parents: Contact Jenny Budig,
699-3481
• JC Athletic Booster Club: Randy
Roehl, 248-1286
Looking forward to a great second
semester!

Principal
• Communicate with teachers about
their child’s progress.
• Attend parent/teacher conferences
with their child present.
• Make sure there are open lines of
communication between parent and
child.
