High School Principal Email Phone: 608-742-8545 Ext. 1001 Greetings!
Welcome to John Muir Elementary School.
As the school principal, I take great pride in welcoming our students, families, and friends to the John Muir Community. With an incredibly dedicated staff, John Muir School serves students in second through fifth grade, and is committed to providing educational experiences that focus on academic excellence and social emotional learning through kindness.
Our educational program is based upon the Common Core State Standards and is designed to help each child reach their academic potential as they develop skills to be an outstanding citizen in our community. We are a safe and caring school where each child is valued for the person they are, always recognizing the contributions each child brings to John Muir Elementary School.
You are always welcome at John Muir. We encourage parent support and involvement. Developing a strong partnership between home and school is the critical factor for a solid learning foundation. Parents are encouraged to talk with classroom teachers, participate in school activities, attend parent teacher conferences, and be part of our Parent Teacher Club. You are always welcome at John Muir.
I am very proud to be the Principal at John Muir and an active member of the Portage Community where I grew up and raised my own family.
Whether your child is a current student or you are considering moving into the area, I feel very certain you will be pleased with the educational opportunities we offer our students. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about our school/district.
I look forward to our partnerships this school year!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Garrigan
