If you have not, please call your school’s main office and we can give you that information. All other information can be found in our Family Handbook which is located on our school website www.johnstownschools.org. It is important to know our policies and expectations in order for everyone to have a successful school year. You will be required to verify that you and your child read the handbook through a Parent Square link. We hope to see you at Supply Drop-off on August 26th.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Cory Cotter & Dr. Matthew Lewis
