A message from Dr. Curry...

Wow!  What great weather we are having this week.  I love fall! 

Thank you for all of your support through the first 7 weeks of school.  I truly believe it takes a village to raise children and your partnership ensures the best education possible for your child. 
The grading period will end on October 20th.  This gives your student one more week to complete assignments, retake summative tests, or complete anything that will bring their grade up.  Please contact your child's teacher if you have concerns or if you would like to inquire about their progress.
Bullying Education
Our amazing counselors will be visiting your child's history classroom to discuss bullying and the reporting process on the following dates:
  • 8th grade US History Classes - October 10 and 11 - Complete
  • 6th grade World Cultures Classes - October 17 and 18
  • 7th grade - Texas History Classes - October 25, 26 and 27
If you have any follow-up questions please email Mr. Gaffney at sgaffney@mckinneyisd.net or Mrs. Hjartberg at chjartberg@mckinneyisd.net

Dress Up Day!  October 31st
Dress Up Day is on October 31st.  There are some basic guidelines to follow to make this a safe and fun day at Johnson. Dress code will still be enforced, please see the additional restrictions listed below:
         *No masks that cover the face.
         *No blood, gore, and guts can be part of a costume and nothing depicting death or hate
         *Students must be in dress code.
         *No weapons, fake or real.

         *No Clowns
Our students will do an amazing job, and we look forward to seeing the all of our Tigers dressed up this year.  Please ensure that we will have a great day by discussing the expectations with your child prior to October 31st.  Thank you in advance.
