School might not yet be in session, but that doesn't mean there isn't learning going on here at the School District of Janesville!

On Wednesday, new teachers gathered at several schools to meet with mentors and get the lay of the land. At the same time, incoming sixth-graders were getting together for "Take Flight," a program that gives them a breakdown of what middle school will be like compared to elementary school.

In these images, staff from Edison Middle School and Roosevelt Elementary School prepare for the upcoming school year while "Take Flight" participants at Edison get their first looks at their new school.

It's all coming together. We can't wait to see it all in action when school starts MONDAY, AUG. 24!

🎵 Getting to know you, getting to know all about you ... 🎵

The School District of Janesville took another step toward the start of the 2026-27 school year Monday morning, welcoming a fresh class of new teachers during orientation at Parker High School - Janesville, WI!

Thanks in part to the district's outstanding retention rates for both non-certified (89.2%) and certified staff (94.3%), Superintendent Mark Holzman noted this year's crop of new teachers is perhaps the smallest it has seen over the past seven years.

In addition to the district's leadership team, the newly-minted educators had opportunities to meet their principals and other building leaders, to interact with other new teachers throughtout the district, and to pick up their district laptops and get a primer on how to log in and out.

The School District of Janesville offers a hearty WELCOME to all of our new teachers! We have no doubt you will all be phenomenal additions to our SDJ family.
