Message from the Principal

  • Welcome to Joy Elementary School!  Our school has been serving the Trail Creek community since the 1960’s.  Joy serves approximately 400 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.  We are one of nine elementary schools in the Michigan City Area Schools corporation.  Michigan City, Indiana is located on Lake Michigan in northwest LaPorte County.

    Mr. Hopper
    We offer a variety of support systems and services to accommodate a variety of student learning needs.  These services include before and after school care, free breakfast, speech therapy, English as a New Language, and remediation and enrichment opportunities daily based on each child’s individual needs.  These services along with the support of parents who make education a priority at home reinforce the mission that we strive to fulfill everyday.

     

    Our mission is to provide opportunities for every student to reach their full potential in academic growth, social/emotional growth, and physical well-being.  We are committed to preparing our children to be lifelong learners who will be productive citizens in a rapidly changing global community.

     

    If you have not visited our school before, we would love to provide you with a tour of our facility.  Please call our office at 219-873-2090 to schedule an appointment.  Thank you for visiting our website.

    Mr. Jason A. Hopper
