Mrs. Tracy Yslas

Welcome to V.E. Johnson Elementary, home of the Jayhawks! As principal, I want to provide a safe and caring environment for your child where learning is valued and individual needs are met.

At Johnson, our staff will always do what is best for your child. We are committed to providing the best educational program as we "make Jayhawk magic happen"! We encourage you to become involved in YOUR school.

We have high expectations for our students and are looking forward to an outstanding school-year! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call!

Go Jayhawks!

Mrs. Yslas
V.E. Johnson Principal



We all want the best for your children, but we are not enough. You, the parents, must play a key role in the education of your children. Your words of encouragement, a hug when the day has been rough, your interest in your children's work, and your presence at school are vital!

Parents count! Come to school, meet us, talk to us, join the PTO and volunteer your time and energy. Your involvement will show your children that you value their education. Let's work together!



Character First!

Thanks to a grant obtained by Johnson, with the help of State Senator Peterson, we are implementing a program to make character traits more visible for the students. Character traits are introduced and discussed using animal stories and stories of historical figures.

The nine traits discussed in the program are the following:

  • Gratefulness - Letting others know by my words and actions how they have benefited my life.
  • Generosity - Realizing that I am a trustee of all I have and using everything for the best purposes.
  • Orderliness - Arranging myself and my surroundings to achieve the greatest efficiency.
  • Forgiveness - Clearing the record of those who have wronged me and not holding a grudge.
  • Sincerity - Eagerly doing what is right with transparent motives.
  • Virtue - Demonstrating honesty and integrity in my life by doing what is right.
  • Attentiveness - Showing the worth of a person by giving full concentration to his or her words.
  • Obedience - Cheerfully carring out the directions and wishes of those who are responsible for me.
  • Truthfulness - Earning future trust by accurately reporting past facts.
