Shout out to Harper Benson, one of our September Character Education Award recipients. New to Polenta Elementary, Benson is a fifth grader and already shines through her kindness and caring demeanor. Although she is new to the school, Benson stepped up to help a student who started school once the year had begun.
Way to go!👍

Greetings Kindergarten Parents. We hope that you are excited as we are regarding the opening of our Kindergarten school year.
With August 31 being an inclement weather day, we have rescheduled Orientation for Mrs. Brough and Mrs. Monroe. Parents of impacted students are asked to come in for orientation on their students' staggered entry day. The orientation will be held in our Cafeteria. These days are based on the date given in your student letter. Please be sure to reach out to our front office if you have any questions.
JCPS CLOSED FOR ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF THURSDAY, AUGUST 31
Due to the impending inclement weather conditions caused by Hurricane Idalia, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students, staff, and visitors tomorrow, Thursday, August 31. This includes all after school activities on Thursday. The district will operate under Condition 1 of our Inclement Weather Procedures. Weather Conditions can be found online by visiting www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions.
This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution and per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials.
We hope that all of our students, staff, and families stay safe, and we thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this severe weather event.
We had a wonderful first day back to school and want to thank all of our students, staff, and families for working together to make today a success. We want to share a few reminders to keep things running smoothly in the days and weeks ahead.
In the first few weeks of school, it’s typical for our bus routes and carpool lanes to run a bit slower than normal. Our drivers are getting used to new routes, there are more drivers on the road, our students are getting into a routine, and most importantly - we are focused on keeping everyone safe at all times. We ask that you keep these things in mind if our arrival and departure procedures are moving more slowly than we anticipate. If your student is a bus rider, we encourage you to download the EduLog Parent Portal App, for real time information on where your student's bus is on their route.
We also want to remind our families that the majority of our schools are offering free breakfast and lunch this school year. All schools, with the exception of Clayton High, Cleveland Elementary, Cleveland High, Corinth Holders High, and Powhatan Elementary, will offer free breakfast and lunch through the Community Eligibility Provision. Families with students attending non-qualifying schools are encouraged to complete a Free and Reduced meal application to receive benefits for this school year. This form, which can be found on the district website, assists our schools in many other services throughout the year, and can be beneficial for our families and students.
Lastly, please be reminded that all of our school campuses now have a weapons detection system in place at the entrances of our school. All students, staff, and guests will be expected to pass through the system upon arrival to our campuses.
This first week of school is a busy time, with a lot of excitement for our students. Please be reminded that attendance will be taken daily. However attendance calls for students who are marked tardy or absent will not resume until next week.
We thank you in advance for your help in making this a great school year.
Just one more sleep until we welcome our students back to school!! We hope all of our students get a good night's rest and are excited to take on the day tomorrow! We can't wait to see you in the morning! ❤️📚🍎

We enjoyed seeing everyone at meet the teacher last night! Special thanks to Will Hatch for painting our rock. We are excited to see students on Monday!
We're just FIVE days from the first day of school! Can you believe it?! Be sure to check the Johnston County Public Schools mobile app off of your school supplies list! Parents, teachers, and students will use the mobile app for our two-way communication tool this school year! Download it in the Apple or Google Play store today so you're ready for the first day!
Thank you so much to the PTA for their continued partnership! Magic Mike installed our new murals around the school! Please stop and take a picture with them when you visit.
Welcome back teachers! We kicked the school year off on Wednesday with food, fun and games. Thank you to One Stop Shop Raleigh for catering our lunch!
Welcome to Cleveland! Kindergarten Orientation and Assessment dates are 8/30 and 8/31 by teacher. Staggered start times will be 9/6 and 9/7 with all students attending on 9/8!
Congratulations Coach Hatch on being inducted into the Salisbury Rowan Sports Hall of Fame this weekend! We are grateful for the experience you pour into your students every day.
Greeting CES families! We are excited to welcome you back for the 23-24 school year! We can't wait for you to join us for meet the teacher night for grades 1-5 on August 24th. Last names A through L will be from 4-5 pm and last names M-Z will be from 5:30-6:30 pm. See you there!
Our families seemed to like the one-stop-shop format for Orientation Information on our website - so we thought we'd make school supply lists just as convenient! Supply lists for our elementary and middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year are available now at: www.johnston.k12.nc.us/schoolsupplies
We hope this makes you getting ready for the first day of school - August 28th - a little bit easier!
