Due to poor road conditions in some parts of the county, extreme cold temperatures and the potential for black ice, Johnson County Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, Wednesday November 13th 2019.

Johnson County Schools have been using software for several years to communicate with its parents, staff and students about local events, school schedule changes and general school related information. There have been some major updates to the software over the past couple of months that have not allowed our e-mail communication to go out alongside our voice messages. This has created some confusion and has limited effective communication between the schools and parents. With assistance and guidance from our software team at School Messenger, we have a solution in place that will allow everyone to continue receiving calls via voice and e-mail.

Please help support our PTO membership drive by donating nonperishable food items and/or bags of dry cat/dog food. All items will be donated to a local food pantry and the local Rescue Dog and End of Life Sanctuary. Thank you for your continued support of our school. This community project will run from November 8- November 15, 2019. 

Mountain City Elementary will be rewarding our students with a trip to Barter Theatre and out to lunch in December.  Information will go home the week of November 11 for parents to purchase tickets to be able to attend with their child. Please remember that parent seats are based on availability and are first come first served.  Look for more information to come home from individual grade levels!

December 11- Grades 2-4th

The first GRANDS meeting will be held on Thursday, November 14, at 6:00 in the board room in the Johnson County School System Central Office.  Frontier Health will be here to discuss how to help children deal with being raised by their grandparents and not their parents.  There will be time set aside for questions and group discussions about what matters most to you.

Several Mountain City Elementary Students were recognized at the Johnson County School Board Meeting last night.

Parent involvement is crucial to academic success no matter how old your child is. The Skyward Family Access Parent Portal is a tool for parents to stay informed and engaged in their child's education. The Parent Portal gives parents and guardians access to their child's attendance, grades, and missing assignments. Weekly progress reports are available as well.

This newly passed law provides revisions and updates regrading school attendance, truancy, and discipline.
