We are moving into our final stretch of SOL Testing! Please mark your calendars for our upcoming testing dates:

May 19th: Math

May 21st: Science (5th Grade Only)

To ensure our students are ready to shine, please keep these three things in mind:

📅 Attendance Matters: Consistent attendance is vital as we wrap up our testing season.

😴 Rest Up: Ensure your student gets a full night's rest so they can stay focused and energized.

🌟 Stay Positive: Your encouragement makes a world of difference!

We are so proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our students at Katherine Johnson Elementary!

What a week! 🍎✨
​We just wrapped up an incredible Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week here at Katherine Johnson Elementary, last week, and our hearts (and stomachs) are full!
​To keep things exciting, we celebrated with an "Underground Spirit Week," where our staff shared some hidden school spirit and extra laughs behind the scenes. 🤫🎉
​A massive thank you to our amazing community partners and supporters who made the week extra special:
​Tastefully Philly for the delicious local eats that kept us fueled and ready to go! 🥪🔥
​Our wonderful PTA for the sweet treats and thoughtful surprises throughout the week. 🧁🍭
​The Sunshine Committee for the extra treats and special gifts that truly brightened everyone's day! ☀️🎁
​Our amazing Cafeteria Staff for providing a fantastic lunch that everyone thoroughly enjoyed! 🍕❤️
​To our dedicated teachers and staff: thank you for everything you do for our scholars every single day. You are the heartbeat of KJES! 🚀🌟
​

🚀 Keep it up, Stars! 🚀
​As we continue SOL Testing this week, please remember that May 14th is the testing day for VA Studies (4th Grade only).
​To help our students do their absolute best, keep these tips in mind:
​📅 Attendance Matters: Being at school on time and ready to go is key.
​😴 Rest Up: A good night's sleep makes a world of difference for focus and energy.
