Officer Denny from the Johnstown Police Department visited Warren Street Elementary School today to share an internet safety presentation geared at helping students to recognize risky behaviors and protect themselves online. Thank you Officer Denny!
Congratulations to Natalie Campione in Mrs. Wagner’s fourth grade class. Natalie is the first recipient of our Kindness Award at Warren Street. She is a student who is always willing to help another student with reminders, writing in planners, picking up their materials, or anything they might need. Natalie also frequently volunteers to help the teacher whenever needed. She does all these things without being asked. Natalie, thank you for being KIND and being a wonderful role model at Warren Street!
We are welcoming all Johnstown community members, families and students to come play together, as well as see our completed project at Johnstown High School.
Activities to be offered include swimming, basketball, obstacle course, face painting, crafts, video games, board games, and more…

Tentative as of April 28, 2018. All problems have an 8-minute time limit.
Divisions I, II & III
Who better to help those in distress than OMER? In this problem, OMER and his trusty Sidekick travel to different places with suitcases holding all of the parts of an OMER-mobile vehicle! OMER and his Sidekick will assemble and ride on the vehicle where it will function in different ways to “save the day.” Between attempts, the vehicle will be disassembled, put back into the suitcases, and taken to a different area where it will be reassembled and driven again. Finally, the OMER-mobile is thrown a hero’s parade as a show of appreciation!
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Teams take a cue from nature in this problem where they create and build a team-made mechanical creature that hides in plain sight. The creature will change its appearance three times to avoid being detected by a Searcher Character trying to find it. The way the creature changes will be different each time! The team will create and present a performance where its creature gets into – or out of – various situations using this resourceful skill. In the end the creature will surprise everyone by changing its appearance a final time and reveal its true self.
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Imagine how inspiring Leonardo DaVinci’s (LDV) workshop must have been. Teams will portray his workplace in an original, creative performance that includes LDV, a patron, and a naysayer. The team will recreate a DaVinci painting, make a three-dimensional representation of one of his works, and recreate another LDV work in any form the team wishes. There will also be an original “debunked” creation that LDV “invented” but discarded because it was mocked. Ironically, the item will be shown as something commonly used in modern times.
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Step right up and put your structure to the test! Teams must strategize risk for points and “toss” their structures in this year’s problem-turned-carnival. They will use a device to propel the structure in a carnival game. If it travels in the air it gets higher score! Once the structure has been successfully tossed, it can be tested for strength. A carnival barker character will entice other characters to join the fun during a performance that incorporates testing the structure’s strength with creative games of skill and chance.
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Disagreements can distract groups from seeing the bigger picture. Teams will create and present a humorous performance about a sneaky character that distracts others while trying to take control of anything the team wishes. In the performance it will lure others into silly arguments and be successful two times. The arguments will be presented using different dramatic styles and will include attention-getting effects. In the end, the groups will learn that they have been intentionally distracted and will catch the sneaky character before it takes control.
Grades K-2
Kids can see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Now they will use that ability to create their own museum! The team will create and present an original museum and its exhibits. During the performance, the team will reveal three creative displays that explain the theme of the museum and show off team-made items. A tour guide will take audiences on a journey through the museum to meet a humorous artist and a curator.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
This year we plan to do a “School Savings Star Program” with First Choice Financial Federal Credit Union.
Saving pennies, nickels and dimes will add up to dollars in no time!
The Johnstown School District is committed to providing a well-rounded education to prepare students for success in all facets of their lives. This includes learning the importance of saving money and developing strong savings habits beginning at the elementary school level.
By participating in the school-banking program, your child will learn what a savings account is, begin to appreciate the advantages of saving, and will receive an account statement displaying their account activity. Your child will be able to make their deposits right at school on a designated banking day, or at the First Choice Financial Federal Credit Union main office located at 355 Hales Mills Road in Gloversville, the Walmart branch office located inside the Walmart Supercenter in Gloversville, or the Broadalbin Branch Office located at 3677 State Highway 30 in Broadalbin.
If your child would like to participate in the “School Savings Star Program,” he/she can get their account started at any of the First Choice Financial Federal Credit Union locations. This savings account can be open with as little as $5. The Credit Union will make the first deposit of $5 for all Student Star Savers.
If your child already has an account with First Choice Financial Federal Credit Union, they only need to bring their savings deposit and account number to school on banking day.
The first “School Savings Star” banking day will begin on Wednesday,September 19, 2018 and end on Wednesday,June 5, 2019. Bank days will be on Wednesdays except for holidays or school closings/delays, and will resume the following scheduled Wednesday.
As we strive to provide a quality education, we hope to see your child participate in this program and take advantage of the learning experience it will provide. We thank our First Choice Financial Federal Credit Union partners for their investment in and support of our students and our District.
Sincerely,
Nicole Lent
Principal

New York State Education Law requires parents to provide a WRITTEN excuse, signed by a parent or guardian, when a student is absent, tardy, or leaving school early.
Please send an excuse to school with your child if he/she needs to be dismissed early, is tardy, or on the day your child returns to school after being absent.
Please be sure to call the school if your child is going to be absent. You may leave a voice-mail message if you call before school hours start. Also, parents/guardians must sign-in/out students when arriving late or leaving early.
Free and reduced breakfast and lunch applications were sent home with your child on the first day of school. Please complete the applications and return to school as soon as possible.
The breakfast and lunch menus are available online at www.johnstownschools.org.
Checks for the correct amount should be made payable to the “Greater Johnstown School District.” Payments can be made in advance. Please make every effort to maintain a balance on your child(ren)’s meal account. Cash or check payments can also be made directly at the school. Payments can also be made at myschoolbucks.com.
Our district’s website is www.johnstownschools.org. Please note that all lunch menus, newsletters and updated school information will be placed on the website. Check the site often for the latest information.

Attendance is taken and instruction begins each morning, promptly at 9:00 a.m. It is very important that your child is on time, attends school every day, is well rested, and has a positive attitude. These things will contribute to the success of your child this year. Students are encouraged to arrive to school after 8:30. Breakfast begins at 8:30. If your child is not eating breakfast, they will be directed different locations by grade level to visit with friends or read a book, and released to their classrooms at 8:45 a.m.
Our dismissal procedure begins at 3:10 pm. In order to alleviate congestion, parents picking up students are asked to please wait outside. When picking up or dropping off your child, it is imperative that all traffic and parking laws are obeyed for the safety of our students.
If you have any questions regarding these rules, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Students riding bicycles to school must wear a helmet, and bike locks would also be useful. Please contact the school if you are unable to provide your child with a helmet.
On Friday, August 3rd, 26 Warren Street Students, together with 26 parents and five chaperones, all under the direction of Warren Street Music Teacher Lynn Makrin, attended the 2018 SPAC Classical Kids performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The event was full of space related activities, ice cream, a drumming circle, and then a fabulous concert including Sibelius’ “Night Ride and Sunrise,” a new work by Theofanidis called “Rainbow Body,” and Holst’s “The Planets” with full accompanying video from NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratories.
Special thanks to the Johnstown Music Support Group and to the community for fundraising to support the bus for this wonderful trip. All of the students who went will receive a “Classical Kids” pass for free admission to all of SPAC’s classical events from now until they graduate from high school.
