Dear John Hustis Families,
Welcome to John Hustis Elementary! My name is Heather Cramer and I am the principal of John Hustis and also serve as the District Administrator for the school district. John Hustis is a great place to learn and grow.
John Hustis teachers work diligently to provide a high quality, research-based education to all students. JHE provides a high quality Early Childhood and 4K program. Students in grades K-5 are immersed in a high quality reading and math curriculum as well as researched-based programs in science and social studies. Students who demonstrate the need are provided enrichment and remedial resources to help them achieve their full potential. JHE also focuses on the social emotional growth of every child by providing explicit instruction in character education and curriculum to promote social well-being. Teachers are highly trained to utilize all of the curricular materials and resources that they are provided. Each and every staff member strives to ensure that children are growing and learning each and every day.
John Hustis offers an after-school care program for 4K students and K-5 students daily following the completion of their school day. This high-quality program provides opportunities for academic support as well as social-emotional growth. Our certified educator carefully plans activities to meet the needs of children enrolled.
JHE has recently become a school that provides technology for each student. Students in grades 4K-2 utilize IPads for learning and students in grades 3-5 have Chromebooks. Technology is a tool within each classroom that enhances learning and provides for additional resources for students to engage with.
John Husis PTC works diligently to provide resources for staff and students within the school. They host fundraising activities and student based activities. The relationship with this group is crucial as they work with the school to provide valuable resources that enhance student learning and growth.
A strong home-school relationship is the key to a students' success. Communication is an integral piece for student success. Weekly communication from teachers and the office is provided to ensure that our families have all of the information needed for their child. Teachers utilize Class DOJO, a communication tool that allows them to communicate with all families enrolled in their class. The district uses a mass communication system that provides valuable information to families as needed as well. It is important for families to keep their information up to date to ensure that all communication is received.
The staff and I look forward to a great year at JHE. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the office to discuss your questions further. It is always a great day to be a Falcon. Each and every student and staff member at JHE and throughout our district make us all #HustyProud!
Sincerely,
Heather Cramer
