Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast.
We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern.
It is our district’s goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!

Polenta Elementary 5th grader Josey Antrobus is our next September 2024 Character Education Award recipient! 🥳
Antrobus was chosen because of her compassion. She is kind towards her teachers and brings them special treats and draws pictures for them too. She models compassion for the students in her class by always following directions, so they have the best learning environment possible.
Well done! 👏
#GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
Let's give September 2024 Classified Employee of the Month Steve Benson a big round of applause! 👏👏👏
Mr. Benson is a custodian at Polenta Elementary. This summer he stepped in as the head custodian, creating a plan for the cleaning crew. Upon inspection, school administrators were informed the building was the cleanest it had been in 15 years!
Keep up the great work Mr. Benson!

For a permanent change, email your teacher directly. The information is checked each day up until 3 PM. We can not guarantee any transportation changes after 3 PM. You will not need to call or email the school once this form is done. You will receive a confirmation once you submit. Please don't forget to click on "submit" at the bottom of the form.

We are so excited to launch the 24-25 school year with our theme "Together We Glow". We are ready to help your child shine bright this year.
Orientation Dates/Times
First - Fifth Grades have Orientation, tomorrow, August 22.
We will have an Early Bird time for those who want to avoid the big crowds (We are a big school.) The early bird times are 2-3pm.
To help keep the parking manageable for all, we divide the times by last name.
Last names A-L comes 4:30-5:30pm and Last Names M-Z come 6:00-7:00 pm.
Kindergarten Open House is Friday, August 23rd from 2-4 pm.
To show you are ready to glow, come dressed in your brightest neon attire. We will have a transportation table, community resource table, PTA will have a merchandise table with school spirit wear, carpool table and more. We ask for families to go online and fill out the beginning of year documents before the 1st day of school.
Beginning of Year Documents
To save you time and hassle, you can go ahead and sign off on all your child's beginning of year documents. (Well, almost all of them.) Most are digital and found on this link. They are live now and must be filled out for each child. This includes the photo release which allows your child's picture to be in the yearbook and for student of the month. It also includes technology release which gives permission for your child to use a chrome book while at school. (The school provides this.)
Supply Lists
Click here to view the supply lists for this year. We try to only ask for what we know we will utilize during the year. Your child's teacher also has an amazon wish list. We will send those out the week staff return so if you are able and willing, our staff would be honored if you were able to get them something off that as well.
Communication
The county will continue using the JCPS app and Rooms this year to communicate. They have worked hard with the company and using your feedback to make improvements to the app over the summer. If at any point you need assistance, please let us know. This is our main form of communication, and we would not want you missing out on pics of your child learning, updates on what they are learning each week, and important announcements. This year teachers will send a weekly newsletter by Sunday night through rooms with what they are learning that week and a Tuesday folder will come home every week with work that your child has been doing. If you ever have concerns or questions, our staff would love to have a conversation with you.
The first day of school is Monday, August 26th! Parents are welcome to walk their child in on the first day. After that, we ask parents to utilize the carpool drop off line or bus transportation. Kindergarten families will be notified by their teacher of their first day.
Have a great evening and Let's Get Ready to Glow!
See ya tomorrow!
