February 14: Valentine's Day Guidance
Students are allowed to bring Valentine's Day cards ONLY if there is one for every student in the class. No candy or treats will be exchanged as there are no class parties for Valentine's Day. Remember, the Mardi Gras Fête is the following week!
End of Term 2
  • Term ends February 7th
  • Report Card Conferences will be February 20th, from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm. Sign-up Genius will soon be shared for parents to sign up for conference slots. Students are encouraged, but not required to attend, particularly in the upper grades. There is no school for students on report card conference day leading into Mardi Gras Break.
Career Speakers Needed
As a part of the high school Thinking Beyond the Classroom, the 9th graders are exploring a variety of career paths, both on field trips as well as in school experiences. Please consider being a guest speaker about your chosen career path as we would like to celebrate a wide variety of vocations. This is open to all parents in the school . Here is a letter to learn more and a survey to sign up!
Mardi Gras Fête
  • Class parties will take place on Wednesday, February 19th at the end of the school day
  • Students can wear Mardi Gras shirts or shirts in purple/green/gold with uniform bottoms to school on that day.
  • If you would like your child to not participate in the fête please notify their teacher and send their name to Sarah Franz by February 17th so we can plan alternative supervised activities.
  • No After Care or Enrichment for students that day due to parades in the city.
Black History Month
Johnson will focus on historical and modern Black leadership in its many forms in our New Orleans community. Through the theme: Local Hero Series: Celebrating Contemporary Black Changemakers, students will learn about and interact directly with Black community leaders from many sectors . If you would like to be a guest speaker or know someone who would be a great fit for this experience, please reach out to Principal Chana at cbenenson@lfno.org .
Grand Frères et Grandes Soeurs Program
All Johnson upper elementary (3rd-5th) students are paired with a big brother or sister, a student from the middle/high school. These periodic meetings between littles and bigs will allow students to grow relationships and further foster a strong community in our ever growing Lycée family.
