Welcome to Pershing Elementary School! I am Principal, Alyssa Johnson. At Pershing, we realize that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. I’m looking forward to becoming acquainted with each child and family. Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.

In education, the term ‘equity’ refers to many things but central is the fact that all students and staff have a voice and that voice is heard and respected. District leaders address equity with a series of conversations about what it means to make sure every child gets what they need to succeed.

This handbook, as well as the WAWM Parent and Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook, includes information that may help answer some of your questions about our procedures, and expectations. Please read through both handbooks and familiarize yourself with the contents to help your child understand the guidelines that keep our school running smoothly.
