Infinite Campus replacing PowerSchool
Infinite Campus is a district-wide student information system designed to manage attendance, grades, schedules, assessments and other information about our students. Parents/guardians have access to "Campus Parent" which is a confidential and secure website that allows parents/guardians to log in and view their child's progress in school.
In addition to viewing information through your portal account, you may also use the portal to update your phone numbers and email addresses and verify your returning student’s information.
Questions? Call the Johnson main office at 558-2174.

*Milkweed for Kindergarten classrooms
Good afternoon!
I am happy to share that all 58 Kindergarten classrooms in the Cedar Rapids Community School District will be raising monarchs this fall! Therefore, I am looking for volunteers to help find, collect, clean and deliver milkweed leaves for the caterpillars to eat. Please fill out this form if you are willing and able to help, and/or forward this to others who may be interested. I will send more detailed instructions to those who volunteer in the next week.
Thank you for your time and support!
