- Do you have a new Kindergarten aged student for the 2019-2020 school year? If so, JSA is now accepting enrollment materials. Early Kindergarten registration allows time for a summer health physical, immunizations and a dental screening. Iowa law requires documentation of immunizations to be on file prior to the first day of school. There are numerous community organizations that provide the necessary appointments at no, or a reduced, cost over the summer months. If you have not already, please come to the JSA Main Office to submit the following: child’s birth certificate and proof of residency (a lease, rental or housing purchase agreement, or utility bill) to begin the registration process.
- If your family is moving out of the Johnson attendance area this summer, please contact JSA at 319-558-2174 to let us know. We can help get materials transferred over to your new school and assist in the transition process for your student.
- Be a good neighbor! Welcome new JSA area families with school aged children by helping them get registered in the Cedar Rapids Community School District. Is there a favorite Johnson experience you might share to help ease nervous new friends about joining a new school? Can you share our address, phone number and school start date to help get them to where they need to go for the school year?
- We are excited for all our new, and returning, Jaguars in August! School starts on August 26th!

Visitor/Volunteer Check-in System
- All VISITORS are required to have a driver's license or state issued ID to gain access to the building. The new Raptor system allows us to more easily track visitors and is designated to check visitors against the sex offender registry for an additional layer of safety for our students and staff. If you have any questions about the system, please contact Ms. Carlson 558-2174

Applications will need to be completed each school year. If you have any questions about the volunteer system, please contact Mrs. Ferring - LFerring@cr.k12.ia.us
