Principal's Corner

Dear Johnson Primary School Community,

As the school year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy, restful, and safe summer! It's been an incredible year filled with learning, growth, and countless memories, and now it's time to recharge and enjoy some well-deserved time off.

To our amazing students, you have soared like our beloved Osprey mascot, Ozzie, reaching new heights in your academic and personal achievements. Whether you're planning to dive into a good book, explore the great outdoors, or simply relax and enjoy the sunshine, I hope your summer is filled with fun and adventure.

To our dedicated teachers and staff, thank you for your unwavering commitment and hard work throughout the year. Your passion for education and support for our students have made Johnson Primary School a wonderful place to learn and grow. I hope you take this time to relax, rejuvenate, and maybe even indulge in a little bit of summer mischief (responsibly, of course!).

To our supportive parents and guardians, thank you for being our partners in education. Your involvement and encouragement have been instrumental in our students' success. I hope you enjoy some quality family time and create lasting memories together.

Our Osprey Family will reunite in August, ready to embark on another exciting school year. Until then, stay safe, stay curious, and most importantly, have a fantastic summer!

The DoDEA Americas Mid-Atlantic District has achieved a remarkable score of 353 on the Cognia Index of Education Quality (IEQ), surpassing the network average of 296, as noted in the May 21, 2025, Accreditation Engagement Review. This recognition from Cognia, a globally respected nonprofit that accredits schools for their commitment to high standards in teaching, learning, and leadership, underscores the district’s dedication to military-connected students. Excelling on Cognia’s 4-point scale with scores of 3.5 in Culture of Learning, 3.4 in Leadership for Learning, 3.3 in Engagement of Learning, and 3.3 in Growth in Learning—well above network averages—the district fosters a supportive environment with strong teacher-student relationships, innovative technology like a 1:1 Chromebook ratio, and programs such as Focused Collaboration and STEAM activities. Ranked as the top U.S. school system for 4th and 8th graders in the 2024 NAEP, DoDEA’s global curriculum and tailored support make it a standout choice for military families, a commitment echoed by Superintendent Ryan Smith as the district plans to share findings and drive further improvements.
