Johnston-McQueen Elementary
Summer 2019 Newsletter
School's out for summer!
School supplies: I have included the list for purchase below, and this is also available in our office. The district is providing most of the supplies for the students, so we are thrilled to offer a very short list for parents.
Teacher Requests: As a reminder, we do not honor individual teacher requests. We have a short questionnaire to request characteristics if you would like to submit that to help with classroom placement for your child. This form is available in our office and is due by July 18. Late forms will not be accepted.
Uniforms: Uniforms will continue to be the same for this year with white, green, navy, red or light blue polos and khaki or navy pants/skirts/skorts/rompers. Students are to wear tennis shoes. Students may wear jeans with a Lobo Spirit shirt on Fridays. Our PTA will offer JMQ spirit shirts and The Education Foundation will offer Green Out shirts for sale at Meet the Teacher.
Registration: All students, both new and returning, are required to register. Returning students/parents may update their child's information on Skyward from a home computer. The remaining items are done in person at our front office July 22-25 and August 1 from 8am to 4pm.
PK/Kinder Montessori Class: As a reminder, all PK and Kinder students will need to register at the East Texas Montessori Prep Academy (ETMPA) and not at JMQ. We will have one small class here at JMQ, but the determination in placement for that one classroom has not yet been determined. I will share information upon that decision.
Please take a moment to look through dates and other information below and follow us on Facebook for reminders/updates. I hope you all have a wonderful summer! Please reach out to us if we can help in any way. For summer hours, our office is open from 7:30-5:30, Monday-Thursday, and closed on Fridays.
